Volunteering
 
We are community-spirited school and we encourage parents and families to participate in all aspects of our programs. There are many opportunities to be directly involved in your child’s education. These opportunities include:
​
  • helping with school excursions and school events
  • collaborating and cooking with our 'Food for Everyone' parent group 
  • assistance with literacy and numeracy programs
  • participation in environment committees and fundraising groups
 
Please note: If you are interested in volunteering at Banyan Fields Primary School you will be asked to apply for a Working with Children (WWC) check. For more information about the WWC check, see: Working with Children.

Our school sickbay officer is onsite from 8:45am - 3.15pm if you have any queries.

It is important to note that these are all medical documents and therefore must be completed and signed by the treating doctor (e.g. Immunology/Allergy Specialist, Pediatrician or General Practitioner). Please click on the links below to download required medical forms.
