Volunteering

Volunteering

We greatly value family involvement and offer a variety of ways for you to contribute to the running of our kindergarten. These include:

  • Curriculum Support – Share your family’s significant events, cultural festivities, or traditions to enrich our learning experiences.
  • Administration Roles – Assist staff with essential “behind-the-scenes” tasks.
  • Library Borrowing – Help manage our library system
  • Laundry Washing – Take home a bag of items such as tea towels and smocks to wash and return.
  • Yard Maintenance – Support the upkeep of our beautiful grounds.
  • Governing Council – Play an active role in shaping the future of our kindergarten (see details below).
  • Fundraising – Help us raise vital funds to support our programs and resources (see details below).

Governing Council and Fundraising

The Governing Council is elected at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), held at the start of each year. Families joining mid-year also have an opportunity to get involved.

The council is made up of dedicated volunteers who contribute to:

  • Supporting the curriculum and enhancing outcomes for children.
  • Developing and maintaining the kindergarten’s grounds and buildings.
  • Organising and managing fundraising activities to support the kindergarten site.

The Governing Council works closely with staff to create a positive and rewarding experience for everyone
involved.

Meetings

Governing Council meetings are held twice per term at the kindergarten, scheduled at a time that suits the majority of members. All families are welcome to attend any meeting.

If you’re interested in joining or would like more information, please speak with a staff member.

Fundraising

While fees and government subsidies contribute to the running of our kindergarten, they do not cover all costs. Fundraising is essential to help meet operating expenses and acquire new resources.

Our goal is to provide the very best for all children, including maintaining and updating equipment and resources to support their learning and development. Your support is vital to achieving this.

We encourage families to get involved and share creative ideas for raising funds. Together, we can make a big difference in enhancing the experiences of all children at the kindergarten.
