"Strong Tomorrow"

It is important that Dohertys Creek P-9 College volunteers are familiar with our policies and procedures relating to child safety and understand the important role they play in maintaining and promoting the safety of our students.

All volunteers must be inducted before volunteering at our School.  Should you be interested in volunteering, please contact our Administration team on 8560 6079 who will be able to step you through this process.
