‘JUST ONE THING’

One of the things that makes Bendigo Violet St Primary the best school in Bendigo is our friendly and active school community. We want to make sure every family (especially new ones!) have the opportunity to get involved.

 

We have almost 200 families in the Violet St school community. We would be extremely grateful if every family could nominate to do ‘JUST ONE THING’ to help the Parents & Friends Committee in 2023. Volunteering at school is an excellent way to meet new people and make friends – plus your children will love seeing parents/grandparents or other special people at school.

 

Follow this link to the  ‘Just one thing’ survey or copy/paste this into your browser https://forms.gle/9nAhJbYmj18J4zue9 

You will find a list of “things” you can do to be a part of the Violet St Parents & Friends and support the school. There is also space for you to include any skills that you would like to share with us. Just fill in your contact details and tick just one (or more if you wish!).

 

Please complete this survey as soon as possible.

 

Volunteering is easy, fun and doesn’t require a huge commitment. Research shows that helping at school also benefits your child, plus funds raised by the Parents & Friends are returned to the school to enhance your child’s education experience.

 

All activities at Violet St require a current Working With Children Check. You can get a free Working With Childrens Check here: www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au .

 

A Parents & Friends group member will contact you about how you can help throughout 2023.
