The Catholic Schools Office values the significant contribution volunteers make to all our schools. Volunteers bring a rich and diverse mixture of culture, life experience and expertise from their communities.

They complement and enhance the student-centred care provided by our staff. Our volunteers enrich the quality of life for our students and their families and are in turn, enriched by their experiences.

To be a Catholic school volunteer, you must be 18 years of age or older and have completed your schooling. You must be of good character.

To learn more about volunteering in a Catholic school, including Child Protection procedures and the Volunteer Code of Conduct, please download the Volunteer Induction Handbook, which has been produced by the Catholic Schools Office of Maitland-Newcastle and the Federation of Parents & Friends Association, Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle.
