Volunteering is a wonderful way to share in your child’s school journey. At St Cecilia’s there are four ways you can volunteer:
- Canteen
- Year Level Based Volunteering Events
- Social Justice Opportunities
- Parish Social Justice Opportunities
- Talent Based Opportunities
1. Canteen
During the school year, we allocate a class to each week, they are assigned to the canteen which is open Mon, Wed, Fri. By allocating class years we help rotate volunteering fairly across the school families, and makes all years accountable. Saying that, parents are welcome to grab any date they feel they can help out, allocating class years just provides a guide. Many parents like to help in the canteen on their child’s birthday for example.

3. Social Justice Opportunities
Other, ongoing opportunities also exist e.g. Meals on Wheels and helping out in the Millie Smith Second hand uniform shop.
4. Parish Social Justice Opportunities
People with previous cook-off experience co-ordinate a team of up to 7 people per year group to prepare meals in the kitchen at the parish centre next to St Kieran’s church and school. All ingredients are ordered and delivered to the kitchen and meals are frozen for collection/distribution at a later date.
Cook-offs are held on Monday evenings 6pm – 9 pm or Mondays during the day 9am – 12 noon (see your specific class time).
5. Talent Based Opportunities
Additionally, do you have a particular skill that you are happy to use to help the school? E.g. are you a Graphic Designer? a Photographer? an Accountant? Can you help with costumes for the school musical? There are also positions within the Parent Network, Book Club. Gardening Club or helping with weekly banking. If you are interested in any of the above, or have any questions, please contact Melat scb.pf.noticeboard@gmail.com .
