At Rozelle Public School we value the input of parents and are grateful for the huge body of expertise parents bring to the school. We have many volunteers who enjoy hearing children read. There is an opportunity for interested volunteers to undertake training in assisting children to read.
Ways to help out:
in the classroom during different KLA sessions
attending an excursion with your child’s class
making costumes and painting backdrops for the junior and senior musicals
gardening
environment
swimming and athletic carnivals
grounds improvement
canteen
putting in submissions for various grants
