Volunteering

We would like to thank all of our volunteers for all of the wonderful things they do to enhance our students’ experiences at school. From volunteering in the classroom to assisting on school trips, your assistance is much appreciated.

As a parent, if you wish to help out in any way at St. James Catholic School, please be aware that a current Criminal Background Check (CBC) with a Vulnerable Sector Screening is required to be on file with the office. This applies to all school-related activities including driving students, assisting around the school with hot lunch, or accompanying students on class trips. 

A Criminal Background Check is valid for one year. Each year thereafter, you may complete an Annual Declaration Form (AOD) at no additional cost. To be able to continue to volunteer in our school, please pick up this form from the office.

Please note that a parent will not be permitted to volunteer at the school or participate in class excursions without a valid and up-to-date CBC or AOD.
