Volunteering opportunities
Get involved and help support your kids' school
Keen to get involved? We'd love to have you! Erko P&C welcomes all parents and carers, whatever your skills or background.
There are lots of different ways to help. Activities like our working bees directly improve the school grounds and facilities, while volunteering at an event helps support stronger community connections. P&C fundraising is crucial to improving our school with items like new playground equipment, classroom resources, technology and more.
Above all, volunteering is fun! It's a great way to meet other Erko families and come together to contribute to a great cause.
Take a look at the list below to see where help is needed. The list is continually updated throughout the year, so if there's nothing that suits you right now, please check back later.
As always, you can contact us at any time by emailing erkopandc@gmail.com.

Check the links below for details of where help is needed. Most activities have a range of tasks to suit all skill-levels and different timeslots.
Thank you for being involved - all these amazing activities can't happen without volunteer support.
ERKO QUIZ TRIVIA+TUNES
It's Erko's biggest and bestest big night out for parents and carers, and we can't make it happen without volunteers. We need helpers to set up on Saturday afternoon AND cleanup immediately after the music stops on Saturday night - unfortunately, we have to clean up that night as the hall is rented out on Sunday morning, so lots of helpers will be essential! Extra helpers are also needed on Sunday for a final tidy-up.

PLAYGROUND WORKING BEES
Working bees are a great way to get involved and meet other Erko parents, carers, kids and families, and a lovely opportunity to get together at the weekend. There's always a range of activities (both indoor and outdoor) with tasks suitable for all abilities - no special skills required! Children are welcome (if accompanied by an adult) and lunch is provided.

ARTY-CRAFTY CREATIVE CREW
The creative crew are hard at work restoring and upgrading murals and other beautiful spaces across the school. If you have some experience in art/craft, Lesley would love to hear from you! You do not have to be a professional, confidence and eagerness will do just fine!
