Parents - How you can be involved
Glenferrie Primary School welcomes parents and carers to participate in our school life.
Many programs cannot operate without parental support. Parents frequently work with our teachers to support learning in Literacy (Reading and Writing) and Numeracy.
Additionally, parents are often called on to assist in incursions and excursions, lunchtime clubs, camps, interschool sports, and other special days.
If you would like to be involved, we would love to have you. Please contact the office to organise privacy training.
It is also recommended that parent helpers get a Working With Children check prior to volunteering here. This can easily arranged by visiting:
