​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
