Volunteering at school

Helping out at school is a great way to get involved in your child’s education as well as get to know the staff and other parents and carers.

Research shows that children benefit when their parents or carers are actively involved in their education and school life.

You can help by:

• listening to children read in the classroom
• volunteering in the canteen or uniform shop, or on sports days
• helping supervise excursions
• getting involved in fundraising activities
• attending working bees
• joining school committees.
