Saints Connect
Connection with your child’s school positively impacts them as much as it does on you. We’d love you to be involved in an area you’re passionate about. Join one of our Saints Connect groups and meet people who share your interests and help the school continue to thrive.
Parents who volunteer through Saints Connect are invited to regular updates run by the principal throughout the year.
We’d love to see you share some of your time and expertise at the School through Saints Connect. There’s a volunteering opportunity to suit everyone.
