Working with children check declaration or clearance
All volunteers who are working within classrooms, around the school, on excursions or at any time children are present are required to obtain a Working With Children Check (WWCC) Declaration or Clearance.
There are two options for you to choose from. Both of these options are free for volunteers.

Once completed, you need to bring the form and the original proof of identity documents to the office for verification. Once these are sighted they will be returned to you. You may then work with the children.
