creating and problem solving

Absolutely! It fits right in with our school philosophy and we encourage this sort of involvement in learning. Before people start helping in classrooms they are trained in how to assist appropriately and purposefully, and understand our requirements for behaviour management, confidentiality and conduct. We look forward to building a strong team of committed classroom helpers.
