HOW TO APPLY:

If you applied for CSEF at your child’s school last year, you do not need to complete a new application form unless there have been changes in your family circumstances. You only need to submit a new form if any of the following changes have occurred:

• New student enrolments: Your child has started or changed schools this year.
• Changed family circumstances: Such as a change in custody, name, concession card number, or new siblings starting this year.

Parent Volunteers

Around our campuses there is a range of activities, in and out of the classroom, where we are greatly assisted by parent volunteers. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer as a parent, we would encourage you to make contact with your child(ren)’s campus and find out more about possible ways you can become involved. Please read the information on the Volunteer Agreement form, which can be accessed using the button below.

Any parent or guardian who is interested in volunteering is required to have a current Working With Children Check (they are valid for five years), a copy of which must be lodged with the College, and must complete a new Christian College Volunteer Agreement Form each school year. The Volunteer Agreement Form can be downloaded using the button below. It can be filled out electronically, but you must download it to your device in order to enable the use of a digital signature. Once completed and signed, use the ‘Upload’ button below to submit the form. It will be sent to Jenelle Fitzpatrick at the Highton Campus, who will register your details and pass them on to the appropriate campus.
