Volunteering

Windsor Park School sincerely values the contributions of our parent groups and volunteers. Whether you can spare half an hour, a day or an on-going commitment of time, we want to know what your interests are and how they might fit into various volunteer opportunities within our school. Volunteering is always a wonderful way to get to know your school community and to make an impactful contribution to the education of all students at Windsor Park.

Please note, all volunteers must complete our district's Volunteer Form prior to working within the school or supervising a field trip.
