Volunteers and Parent Helpers Course

DCS is committed to being a child safe school for our students. Each year we hold our Volunteers and Parent Helpers Course for our class parent helpers and volunteers working with our students. Parents, family members and volunteers who wish to volunteer at the school in any capacity or coach a DCS sports team are required to sit the ‘Working with Our DCS Children’ session. These are held to induct our parent helpers, and any volunteers, who wish to assist in our classrooms and around our school in 2025. As a school that is committed to protecting our children and has zero tolerance to child abuse, it is mandatory that any volunteer or parent helper in our school attend this induction session. It is important a volunteer or helper attends this course every 12 months.  

The session for 2025 will have some similar content as in previous years (as is required), but will also introduce new concepts and information. 

A daytime option of this course will be run this Friday 21st February at 9:15am for any families who were unable to attend Monday evening's session.If you are unable to attend and wish to complete the course, please let the school office know, we may advertise further times for sessions later in the year.  

'New Parents to DCS' Information Evening

We would love to have you join us for our New Parents Information Evening, Tuesday 25th February, in the Jiloa Centre.

This evening is specially designed for new parents who have joined the Devonport Christian School community in the past 12 months and provides information on:

• Christian Schooling and biblical world view

• Christian Education National – our national body with over 25,000 students in schools across Australia

• Devonport Christian School Inc – our associated body and what membership entails

As well as further information on the structure of Devonport Christian School and Christian schooling in general.

A light supper will be provided and our coffee machine will be running with delicious hot drinks for everyone.

The evening will be held in our Jiloa Centre, commencing at 7:00pm and runs for approximately one hour. We invite you to arrive at 6:45pm if you would like a hot drink first.
