Parent Volunteer Opportunities - ｳﾉﾈﾋｶﾌﾆｬ's Anglican Community School

Community

Community Participation Program (Parent Volunteers)

ｳﾉﾈﾋｶﾌﾆｬ's has always been a school that values having a strong sense of community. We believe that a thriving community is one where parents, carers and friends have opportunities to contribute to the life of the School actively. This is why we have the Community Participation Program (also called the Parent Commitment Hours Program), which is a continuing tradition of the School and condition of enrolment. The program serves as a means of building community spirit and connection among our families. It also teaches our students the importance of connection and participation through service, even for adults who are their role models.

The program is administered by the ｳﾉﾈﾋｶﾌﾆｬ's Parents and Friends' Association, but the program is a policy of the School. The P&F provide ongoing positive support for the development of the School. We encourage all parents and friends to take advantage of the various opportunities available to contribute to the School, whether that be through volunteering in person or from the comfort of your own home. Parents, carers, grandparents, aunties, uncles and your children can volunteer! Opportunities to participate exist both in and out of standard working hours and are communicated in the Weekly Bulletins and on the ｳﾉﾈﾋｶﾌﾆｬ's School App. By working together to support the School, we can continue to build a strong and vibrant community for years to come for the benefit of our students.

Please find below the current Parent Commitment Hour reports logged up to 1 December 2024. To check your individual log, you will need your family code, as shown on your ｳﾉﾈﾋｶﾌﾆｬ's account statements.

Please contact the P&F's Community Participation Coordinator, at parentcommitment@stmarks.wa.edu.au if you have any questions regarding the Program.

Family Participation Contribution

The School requires a minimum of 10 hours of commitment per family per annum, but many families provide well in excess of this requirement. The Parent Commitment Hours program is administered by ｳﾉﾈﾋｶﾌﾆｬ窶冱 Parents & Friends窶� Association (P&F), but the program is a policy of the School. If the 10 hours commitment is not completed, a fee of $330 (GST does not apply) will be levied by the School and donated in full to the P&F as a contribution toward financing community aspects of the School.
