​Volunteer Selection Process

​​

All volunteers undergo a screening process at the College. Roles are assigned based on the College's current needs, as determined by the Principal/Directors.

​

The College has two levels (tiers) of volunteer support:

​​

  • Tier One: volunteers who must remain under the direct supervision of a teacher at all times, for example, when assisting with classroom activities, group work, reading support, or other teacher directed tasks.

  • Tier Two: volunteers who may be required to provide supervision of students during activities, for example, sport coaching or excursions. Tier two volunteers must provide at least two referees for character checks.

​

How to Apply

  1. Choose if you would like to be a Tier 1 or Tier 2 Volunteer.

  2. Fill out the Volunteer Application form which includes uploading a copy of your Working With Children Check. 

  3. A valid Working With Children Check (WWCC) lasts for 5 years. If you don’t have a WWCC, please email your name and birth date to volunteer.induction@portside.sa.edu.au and we can handle the process for free. You will need to provide 100 points of ID online or to Administration. Clearance emails take 3–4 weeks; and you will need to email your WWCC to the College once received.

  4. Tier two referee checks will be conducted before approval, as per our duty of care and insurance requirements.

​

Approved volunteers will be notified via email and can start their duties.
