Volunteering at CNPS

For 2025 we have setup a WhatsApp Community Channel for Buildings & Grounds volunteers, this is where we will post any volunteer opportunities. We welcome our school community to join the Channel using this link. We look forward to reengaging with our school community in 2025 through our working bees and weekly volunteer opportunities.

​The Importance of Parental Involvement
 
At Coburg North Primary School (CNPS), parental involvement is highly valued. Parents and carers play a crucial role in creating a supportive environment for our students.
 
Ways Parents Can Help
 
- Classroom Helpers: Parents assist with reading, changing home readers, preparing resources, and sharing their expertise.
- Grounds Maintenance: Parents help beautify the school grounds and maintain outdoor spaces.
- Camps, Excursions, and Events: Parents accompany students on trips and special events.
 
The Volunteer Process
 
1. Expression of Interest: At the beginning of each year, CNPS announces volunteer opportunities via Compass.
2. Workshops: Volunteers attend a workshop to complete the necessary induction and OHS requirements.
3. Coordination: Once inducted, teachers coordinate with volunteers for scheduling and tasks.
 
Essential Steps for Volunteering
 
- Working with Children Check (WWCC): Required for all volunteers.
- Volunteer Induction Handbook: Volunteers review the school's policies and expectations.
- Information Session: Volunteers attend to complete the induction process.
 
Getting Involved
 
Each year, CNPS calls for volunteers and conducts workshops at the start of the year. The support of our parent volunteers significantly impacts the school community.
