Volunteer Opportunities

Catherine McAuley School has many opportunities for the community to be involved to support the learning of our students at our school. We value our volunteers and rely on support of Parents, Grandparents and Friends for our activities.

We welcome interest in assisting our school and it is part of our responsibilities to ensure all volunteers are properly trained and made aware of Work, Health and Safety issues relating to the tasks they may perform. In meeting these responsibilities, the school has an obligation to ensure all persons who wish to work with students in a voluntary capacity are deemed as having the appropriate character to do so, as the safety and welfare of students is always paramount.
