Volunteers play a very important role connecting school and community, making a difference in the lives of students and their families in our primary and high schools throughout the state.
The Schools Ministry Group recognises that volunteers are essential to society and impact significantly on the lives of young people and their families through the help and support they provide. SMG is committed to supporting volunteers as they play a vital role in our community.
How do I volunteer?
The best way is to contact the Schools Ministry Group and talk to us about what opportunities we have for volunteers and your interest and skills.
We will support and assist you through the process, provide you with training about volunteering in schools and Mandatory Notification and assist you in finding an appropriate volunteer opportunity suitable to you in the local community.
What does SMG require?
We are looking for volunteers who are passionate about helping a young generation discover purpose, value and hope.
We ask that all our volunteers be willing to complete an application process and agree to work within the mission and values of SMG.
For school activities we require that our volunteers also undergo training for their role and have a current Police Check.
Volunteering in schools and communities could include:
- Breakfast Club programs
- Mentoring programs
- Camping programs
- Christian Education Seminars
- Values Education Seminars
- Community programs
- Supporting the CPS Worker
- Fundraising activities
- Office Administration
- Student Groups
If you are interested in supporting students, staff and CPS Workers at their local Primary or High Schools please contact SMG.
Significant National Police Certificate Process Changes
A number of policy and procedural changes are being made to the National Police Certificate (NPC) PD267 application form and process in line with new national initiatives and efficiency improvements.
In early 2010, SAPOL will commence participation in a new online National Criminal History Record Check (NCHRC) process following the introduction of the NCHRC Support System (NSS).
In preparation, Records Release Unit (RRU) is developing new processes to ensure compliance with stringent national standards and requirements.
NPC Changes - Effective Monday, 9 November 2009
The new PD267 application form has been rebadged as a National Criminal History Record Check Application Form.
Applicants are encouraged to complete an online form rather than hardcopy form, and then attend a police station with the completed form and 100 Point Identification as per the current NPC process.
* Applicants are required to present original 100 Point ID documentation and a photocopy of these documents for certification and lodgement with the PD267.
* Certificates will only be released to the applicant. There will no longer be an option to nominate a third party to receive the certificate on their behalf.
* This new system will give applicants the opportunity to review the information for accuracy and also provide a greater level of protection to an individual's privacy.
* The new online downloadable PD267 form will be available on the South Australia Police website from Monday, October 26, 2009.
New PD267 Form Implementation
Old and/or incomplete forms presented at police stations or received by RRU from Monday, 9 November 2009 will not be processed and will be returned to the applicant.
