Assistance wanted

St John the Baptist Primary School is currently looking for community members to be part of its Learning Assistance Program.

The school has conducted a Learning Assistance Program at the school since July 2004.

The program is a student-centred program, providing individual support for students through the participation of volunteers.

Volunteers in collaboration with teaching staff, work with students on a one-to-one basis for a one-hour session each week.

Students are referred to the program by teaching staff and volunteers are matched carefully to each student.

Activities are planned in consultation with the referring teacher and the co-ordinator of the program.

Parents give consent for their child to be involved in the program.

Anyone in the community who would be interested in being involved in the program should contact Beth Riley on 0421 226 255.
