Working with Children Check

There have been reforms to strengthen Working with Children Check legislation. Child and parent volunteers must now acknowledge they understand the new laws and confirm that they are eligible to access child or parent exemptions.  

Examples of when Parents are volunteering 

When you: 

• help out in a classroom or attend a day excursion 

• present an award or speak at an assembly

• are helping in the canteen or 2nd hand uniform stall 

• assist at a sports carnival 

• conduct P&C duties.

Examples of when Parents are not volunteering

When you: 

• pick up and drop off your child 

• watch an event, like an assembly or sports carnival 

• attend a parent and teacher interview 

If you are volunteering you need to complete a Parent and child volunteer declaration form. These forms are available from Reception or your child’s teacher

Please note we are working with WSHS to organise the forms required for our high school students on work experience as part of their induction to Burrendah PS.
