2025 Class Carer Call Out

Are you interested in being part of our Class Carer Community next year? 

To assist with a smooth transition into next year, we would like to begin the process of asking for volunteers for 2025 Class Carers. 

A Class Carer is someone who supports their child’s classroom teacher along, with the other Class Carers, to care for the class and families. They might help provide a listening ear and welcome new families to St Paul. They may also choose to organise family or parent social events.

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

Thank you again to the wonderful volunteers that made up our Class Carer Community this year and to the people who have already volunteered for 2025!
