A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO ASSIST OUR SCHOOL!
Dear Parents/Nossal Community,
We are seeking volunteers to assist with supervision of our internal school exams. Exams run from Friday 11 November to Friday 18 November.
If you could spare an afternoon/morning/day throughout this period, it would be greatly appreciated.
All that is required is a current Working With Children’s Check. If you don’t already have a WWCC you can complete the online registration for the accreditation at
https://service.vic.gov.au/services/working-with-children
Working with Children Checks are free for volunteers.
What do volunteer supervisors do?
- work with the coordinating teacher to supervise exams to ensure that students comply with exam requirements
- walk around the rows of students sitting exams
- assist students with questions and escort them to the toilet
- collect papers at the end of the exam
New volunteers have the opportunity to attend a one-hour training/information session to familiarise themselves with the exam process and to ask any questions they may have. This training session will be held on Wednesday 2nd November from Midday until 1:00pm.
How do you sign up?
- email your details including your phone number and the day(s)/times you would like to assist to vivian.horner@nossalhs.vic.edu.au
- NB: please include information about your student's year level/s in your email, as parents are not able to assist in an exam their student is undertaking.
- phone the school for more details on 8762-4600
- Viv will contact you via email closer to the date to confirm the days you have been allocated to supervise.
What do volunteers get for offering their time?
- the opportunity to see and understand the pressures on our students
- experience in and understanding of VCAA exam conditions, rules and processes
- a good feeling that you have assisted the school community greatly by offering to supervise
- food during meal breaks throughout the day
- a letter from the Principal to thank you for the important role you have played
- an invitation to the Volunteers Morning Tea later in the year
When you sign up for exam supervision we are relying on you to fulfil this very important commitment.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Tracey Mackin
Assistant Principal
