Volunteering

Parents and friends play a vital role in the education of our students. We welcome their assistance as volunteers in the classroom, excursions, sport, P&F activities and more.

There are many opportunities with which volunteers can bring a wealth of experience and range of skills such as:

Classroom helpers (Junior School)
Class and/or year level coordinators: providing a communication link between the school, P&F and parents
International House Homestay Program
P&F activities such as the All Saints Fair, annual social events and supporters groups (music, rugby, swimming, basketball and sustainability)
Concerts, musicals and drama performances
School sports and sports carnivals

To keep our students safe and comply with student protection and Work Health & Safety legislation, there are some requirements that must be addressed prior to commencing in a volunteering role.

Requirements

To volunteer at All Saints you will need to:

Attend a volunteer induction, refresher induction or other training as directed by the School.
Formally register to volunteer by completing an Engagement Form which will be emailed to you after you attend the induction.
Provide us with a copy of your Blue Card unless you are able to rely on an exemption from this requirement.

Who needs a Blue Card?

You will need a blue card to volunteer at our school unless you are:

A current parent (unless volunteering in our homestay or billet programs)
A volunteer under the age of 18 years
An individual working (paid or unpaid) for no more than seven days in a calendar year

If a blue card is required, you will need to provide us with a copy prior to commencing in your volunteering role. As a school we are bound by a strict "no card, no start" policy.

For further information, please visit the Blue Card Services website or contact us at bluecard@asas.qld.edu.au.

Please complete our Engagement Form which addresses the majority of the above requirements.

Please note that Junior School volunteers must, in addition, complete an induction in-person at the School. Please contact the Junior School Administration office to arrange a time - email juniorreception@asas.qld.edu.au.
