Volunteering in Our School
Volunteering in our school is easy - and a fun way to be a part of your child’s school community!
After attending one of our volunteer inductions - held every term - and completing the necessary checks, you can take part in activities like:
listen to children read in the classroom, especially at early years
attend excursions or camps, including the yearly Book Week walk through Port Elliot
join Parent Network - and help with fundraising events!
To become a volunteer you need to:
attend a one hour school volunteer induction - usually run once a term, you only need to attend this once
have a Working With Children Check - free online check, valid for 5 years
complete a RRHAN Fundamentals course - free online short course via department for education, valid for 3 years

Port Elliot Governing Council
Governing Council Meetings are the opportunity for parents and community members to share opinions which represent the families of the students who attend the school.
Meetings are held two times a term for approximately one and half hours.
The council is always looking for new members at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) usually held in February each year.
