At Karingal Primary School, we value the important contribution volunteers make to our school community. Volunteers help support student learning, school programs, special events and positive community connections across many areas of school life.

We welcome parents, carers, grandparents and community members who would like to become involved in supporting our students and school community through volunteering opportunities.

Students benefit when families and community members are actively involved in school life.

Ways to Get Involved

There are many ways for families and community members to become involved in school life. Volunteers contribute their time, skills and experience in a variety of areas throughout the year.

Classroom Support

Assist teachers and students during learning activities, literacy programs, classroom projects and special learning experiences.

Excursions and Camps

Support students during excursions, sporting events and camp programs by helping supervise activities and ensuring students have a safe and enjoyable experience.

Breakfast Club

Help provide a welcoming start to the day by assisting with the preparation and serving of Breakfast Club. Volunteers help create a positive environment where students can enjoy a nutritious breakfast and connect with others before learning begins.

Special Events and Celebrations

Volunteer at school events such as performances, community celebrations, fundraising activities and special occasions held throughout the year.

Working Bees

Karingal Primary School holds a Working Bee once each term, providing families and community members with an opportunity to contribute to the improvement of our school grounds and learning environment.

Working Bees may involve gardening and landscaping projects, maintaining outdoor learning spaces, preparing areas for school events and supporting environmental initiatives across the school.

KPS Village Initiatives

Support activities and projects coordinated by KPS Village, helping strengthen community connections and enhance opportunities for students and families.

Uniform Shop Support

Assist with uniform-related activities and help families access school uniform information and resources where required.

To help maintain a safe, inclusive and supportive environment, all volunteers are required to complete the school’s volunteer induction process and follow Child Safe and Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) requirements.  

Volunteer information and induction resources may include:

• Volunteer Induction Handbook
• Volunteer OHS & Child Safe Checklist
• Emergency Contact Information
• School volunteer procedures and expectations

All volunteers are required to:

• sign in and out through the school office
• wear a visitor pass while onsite
• follow school safety procedures and expectations
• hold a current Working with Children Check where required  

Families are encouraged to participate in ways that suit their interests, experience and availability.

Whether helping at an event, supporting classroom activities or contributing to school programs, every level of involvement helps strengthen our school community.

We thank all volunteers for their ongoing support and valuable contribution to Karingal Primary School.
