We welcome the support of the wider community members helping in the classroom. Reading with the children, working with small groups, and excursions are just some of the jobs that parents can contribute to. Anyone wishing to volunteer in their child's classroom must have a Working With Children Card. These cards can take up to 8 weeks to process. Please click on the following link for more information [|Working with Children Card].

__**Community Network**__ Another way to meet people and to get involved with the school is to join the Community Network. This is a **very valuable** resource at Vermont Primary School as it is involved in organising a range of terrific days for your children. eg. cup cake days, footy finals fever days, sausage sizzles, icy pole days, etc... This year there are some wonderful people involved who would love you to volunteer and help them with the various activities that are planned. Ask at the school office for more details.
