Not only will the school reap the benefits of your involvement - you will, too.

Volunteers offer a huge resource and support base to our school community, while also showing children the importance of participating in the community at large. 

There are many informal and formal ways that parents, grandparents, parishioners and carers can be involved in the school community. 

 

Helping with the Learning Assistance Program

One way to volunteer is by being a Learning Assistance Program (LAP) helper. 

LAP provides individual care, enrichment, extension or support to students from Reception to Year 9.

At St Joseph's our LAP volunteers are utilised to listen to children read. If you have other interests or talents that you would like to share with students please do not hesitate to let us know!
