Volunteers

Volunteers play an integral part in supporting the school community at Greenwith Primary School and enriching the lives of our students.  We believe that volunteers bring differing levels of expertise and life skills and provide a broad knowledge base for children and young people to benefit from. They come from a range of backgrounds that reflect the diversity in the wider community.

There are many areas parents/caregivers and family members can volunteer within the school, including:-

• Governing Council and subcommittees
• Parents & friends
• Canteen
• Resource centre
• Classroom support
• Fundraising
• Excursions & camps
• Sporting & SAPSASA
