Classroom Helper Training Session

From Adrienne, Assistant Principal 

An invitation to parents and carers

North Melbourne Primary School is committed to building strong relationships between school and home. An integral part of our classroom program is parental assistance. Classroom teachers value the support of parents to enable them to provide high-quality teaching and learning programs.

NMPS is offering a Classroom Helpers Training morning. This 45 minute session focuses on how you can support your child’s learning while volunteering in the classroom and for other school events. It will give an insight into the types of activities that are part of our literacy and numeracy program, the procedures involved in assisting, as well as relevant questions and prompts to support students and encourage them to extend their skills and strategies.

To maintain the safety and confidentiality of our students, this session will also outline key details from our school’s Child Safe & Wellbeing Policy and our Volunteer Policy.  (Including the process of gaining a Working with Children Check.) 

This program is not compulsory for those who would like to help out in classrooms but is worthwhile for those who would like basic skills and strategies to effectively help small groups and individual children at school. While the knowledge and skills gained are valuable for supporting classroom teacher’s they also provide insights into helping your own children at home.

This training session will run on Friday 10th March 2023,  9:15am - 10:00am (location to be confirmed closer to the date).

If you are interested in attending this session please RSVP via the link below by Friday 3rd March. Register for this event.

Following this training session, our Parents and Friends Committee will be hosting a morning tea.
