Seniors sought to help school

Seniors are being asked to join St John the Baptist primary school, Woy Woy, as part of its "Grandfriends" program.

Grandfriends spend time helping in a class for as long as suits them, whether for just one hour or a morning on a weekly basis.

Each volunteer enters the classroom with the aim of aiding the teacher with tasks and sometimes contributing with their own areas of interest or talents such as reading, local history, music sewing and other subjects.

The Grandfriends program acknowledges that the relationship between younger and older people are important for the well being of the school and community.

Any seniors who maybe interested in becoming part of the Grandfriends program at St Johns can contact the school on 4341 0884.

The program is backed by the Council on the Ageing (COTA).
