How families can participate

Session Assistance

One or two parents are rostered on to share some time with us and assist us each session. Helping at Kindergarten gives you an opportunity to:

• Spend valuable time with your child (Children enjoy their parents’ involvement and often look forward to these occasions)


• Get to know your child’s friends and your centre staff


• Read stories


• Prepare and assist with snacks


• Share special skills (cooking, music etc)


• See the program in action

If you can't help onsite, the following can be done at home to assist the program:

• covering books


• typing


• maintenance of equipment.

Operations:

• Playground tidy-up. 1-2 hours on a weekend once or twice a year.


• Social/fund-raising team. To contribute ideas and help with social occasions and fund raising events.


• Maintenance. May be called upon through term to perform minor repairs and maintenance. It would be especially useful if you are handy or have some particular skills such as carpentry, IT or electrical know-how.


• Working Bees - One per term usually to carry out more major outdoor projects.
