Volunteering with the P&C

Volunteering is one of the easiest ways to support the school — and it doesn’t have to take much time.

Whether you can help once a year or regularly, every contribution makes a difference.

Ways you can help

• Help at any fundraising events (BBQs, discos, mother’s day, Father’s day events)

• Assist with tuckshop (help with labels)

Did you know? You choose how often and how much you help.

What volunteering enables

Thanks to volunteers, the P&C helps fund:

• Learning resources and technology

• Playground and outdoor upgrades

• School events and community activities

Requirements to volunteer

You don’t need to be a P&C member to volunteer.

Due to changes to the Blue Card system, the parental exemption no longer applies.
All parent volunteers are now required to hold a valid, linked Blue Card (or Exemption Card) before volunteering at Wishart State School or assisting with any P&C activities.

Here are the steps to become a volunteer:

• Step 1: Obtain a Blue Card.

  Apply for a volunteer Blue Card via the Volunteering page on the Wishart State School website.

• Step 2: Complete required documents
  Read and sign the following documents:

  • Volunteer Information Sheet (2026)

  • Mandatory Training – Key Messages (2026)

• Step 3: Return documents to the school office
  Return both signed documents to the Wishart State School main office.

  If you are unable to print the forms, copies can be provided by the office.

Volunteer confirmation

Once your documents have been processed, you will receive a Wishart State School Volunteer Confirmation for the current year.

Please show this confirmation to staff in the area where you are volunteering.

Important note

These requirements apply to all volunteer roles, including:

• Classroom support (reading, writing, maths)

• Swimming and sporting activities

• Under 8’s Day

• Excursions and school activities

• All P&C events and activities
