2024 Class Carers 

Thank you to the wonderful volunteers who have put their hand up to support our classes this year. We are still looking for a number parents/caregivers who would like to be a Class Carer for 2024. 

A Class Carer is someone who supports their child’s classroom teacher along with the other Class Carer to support classes, families and events. They help to connect families, provide a listening ear and sometimes gifts to celebrate special occasions or organise stay and play afternoons for children or family or parent social events.

If you are interested in being a Class Carer this year or wish to find out further information, please email jrobinson@stpaulba.sa.edu.au 

Ideally, we would love to have at least two Class Carers per class (the more the merrier). Our Class Carer Volunteers so far are:
