This week is National Volunteer Week, and we give thanks to our Parents & Friends Community (PFC) and all the volunteers who put in so much effort for the benefit of all our students.
The PFC is an integral part of our school, as they assist with planning social and fundraising events, and volunteering within our school community.
The PFC committee is always seeking more volunteers to help with activities. Volunteers can be parents, or other family members or close friends of students who attend our College. They can be female, male, young or old. Being a part of the PFC is a rewarding way to be involved in the school community and a great way to get to know other families in the school.
If you are in a position to give back to your community, we strongly encourage you to volunteer with our PFC. You will need a Volunteer Working With Children Check (WWCC), which you can easily apply for online, and is free for volunteers.
Some activities our PFC are involved with include:
- Sausage sizzles
- Working bees
- Fundraising
- Sports days
- Excursions
- Assisting in classes
- Preparing for Eid market
- Organising parent social events and activities.
Our children love seeing their parents involved at school, and it helps them feel connected to school. Many long-lasting friendships have formed through the PFC, and it is a wonderful way to get to know others in our school community.
To register your interest in volunteering at our school, email Ridayu, the PFC President, at pfc@alsiraat.vic.edu.au, and she will be able to give you more details.
