Ways to get involved with blantyre school community

If you're looking to get involved and explore volunteer opportunities, here's how you can typically engage:

1. Attend Parent Council Meetings: Parent Council meetings are a great way to start. These are open to all parents, guardians, caregivers, community members and are a space to learn about ongoing initiatives, upcoming events, and volunteer needs.

2. Fundraising Events: Parent councils often organize fundraising events such as movie nights, silent auctions, pizza lunches or the fun fair to support school activities. Volunteers are needed to help with organizing, setting up, running, and cleaning up these events. *Please see the Events & Fundraising page for further information.

3. Classroom Support: Parent Council volunteers may be asked to assist with classroom activities or field trips. Teachers may require additional hands to support students during these events.

4. School Socials & Community Engagement Events: Helping with school dances, curriculum nights and other community events allows you to connect with other families while supporting your child’s school. Volunteers can assist with event coordination, set-up, and supervision.

5. Special Programs or Workshops: You may also have the opportunity to help organize or facilitate special programs, such as parent education workshops, after-school clubs, or guest speakers for students and parents.

To get involved, you can:

• Contact the Parent Council: Look for contact details on the school’s website or in school newsletters.

• Join the Council's Mailing List: Sign up to receive updates on volunteer opportunities and upcoming events.

• Reach Out to the Chair or Volunteer Coordinator: Ask about specific roles, tasks, or events that need extra hands.

By volunteering, you’ll not only be contributing to your child’s school community but also gain a better understanding of what’s happening within the school.

All volunteers must submit a current Vulnerable Sector Check to the school principal in order to volunteer at any events. Please follow link below in order to complete yours today.
