VOLUNTEER WITH COOGEE PUBLIC SCHOOL P&C
Volunteering is great fun and an important way to support the school, make great friends and of course, your kids love family involvement at the school.
Volunteers are parents, carers, grandparents, community members.
“We value every contribution, big or small”
FOR EVENT ORGANISERS
MAKE ORGANISING ANY EVENT OR ACTIVITY EASY BY GETTING ALL YOUR VOLUNTEER SPOTS SET UP ONLINE …
How SIGN UP can make running any event or volunteering opportunities that your are organising EASY:
easily send out requests for volunteers with one link
share exactly what's required from volunteers so they know what they're signing up for
once people are signed up, they will receive automatic email confirmation and reminders!
LOVE IT! HOW CAN I GET STARTED?
Start planning your event by contacting cpspandcevents@gmail.com to create a dedicated sign up page.
You’ll need to provide the following information:
Name of event / activity
Date/s
Description of each and every volunteer spot including the specific times for that spot
Name/s of the event organisers (the organisers will also receive emails with updates on who has signed up for their event and will be able to add and edit the SIGN UP). Event organisers need to have an account set up with SIGN UP - it’s free - just go to signup.com and register a FREE account.
I’M A CLASS PARENT … HOW CAN SIGN UP HELP ME WITH CLASS ACTIVITIES?
THANK YOU!
Who better to hear a genuine thank you from, than from some of our wonderful CPS students themselves!
While we love (and rely on) some fabulous individuals who help with almost every P&C activity year in, year out (thank-you-we-love-you) … the contribution of those who just volunteer once or twice through the year is just as important and valued. If every parent/carer gave just an hour of their time each year we would have well over a thousand hours of support. We would like to request that every parent / carer support P&C activities in the way that suits them best.
If you’re worried that volunteering once means you’re suddenly going to be roped in to everything - don’t … that’s not what we’re about. And we know that some years you might be able to get more involved than others - that’s okay too!
VOLUNTEERS OVER THE YEARS - THANK YOU EVERYONE!
