Opportunities to be involved

Home > Community > Opportunities to be involved

We value the involvement of our parents and families.

There are a number of ways you can get involved in the life of your child's College by:

joining the Parents And Friends group
assisting with listening to children reading
attending school celebrations
offering your time working at the school canteen
attending school excursions
attending the school AGM
nominating for Board

The purpose of the Parents and Friends group is to:

participate in consultation and provide input into the school community
undertake activities that contribute to the school community and enhance community spirit
liaise and co-operate with other groups (eg the School Board)
host parent education and information evenings
promote parental involvement in education at Caritas College and as part of Catholic Education SA

The Parents and Friends group is affiliated with the Federation of Catholic School Parent Communities.

In consideration of the demands placed on families, a core committee meet once per term and we encourage interested people to nominate for the committee to assist in co-ordinating our ‘Pop Up Parents and Friends’ activities.

Pop Up Parents and Friends

We invite support from families to assist with our ‘Pop Up Parents and Friends’ activities such as Mothers Day stall, Fathers Day stall, Sports Day stall, baking for fundraisers or catering activities, etc.

In addition, we always welcome parent feedback and support, and thank families for your ongoing commitment and contribution to our school community where parent-student-school partnerships are highly valued.

Volunteers and Police Checks

Volunteers at Caritas College must obtain a Department of Human Services Working with Children clearance through the Catholic Police Check Unit and complete an induction process.

This process is mandatory as part of the College and SACCS Child Protection Policy. The application for the clearance is facilitated through the School and is free of charge.
