National Volunteer Week

National Volunteer Week (NVW) is Australia’s largest annual celebration of volunteering and it all starts next Monday 15th May. The week-long event recognises the vital support that the millions of volunteers in our country provide to their communities and encourages people to consider volunteering.

Keep an eye on our CSPWA Facebook page for videos and motivational quotes and we would love you to share with us any way that your school and/or P&F are celebrating your volunteers.

Catholic School Parents WA take this opportunity to thank each and every parent who volunteers in their child's school. The difference you make cannot be underestimated. From 'Friendraising' to 'Fundraising' our schools would not be what they are without your efforts and the role modelling you provide for your children can have lifelong consequences. Many parents we speak to (including all of our office staff) had parents who volunteered while they were young, so it is important that our children witness us giving back to those communities which give us so much.

As part of National Volunteer week, we will also be opening nominations for our Awards of Excellence in Building Positive School Communities. Please visit our website for more information, and see the article featured later in this newsletter.

P&F's - You Rock!!!!
