Community
Parent Volunteers
One of the points of difference between St Mark's and other schools over many years is the ongoing positive support of the Parents and Friends' Association in the development of the School and in building a strong sense of community. One of the ways in which the community spirit is fostered is through providing an environment where parents and friends have opportunities to contribute to the life of the School through service. The Parental Participation program, also known as 'Parent Hours,' is administered by the St Mark's Parents and Friends' Association.
Current Opportunities
There are a number of opportunities coming up for parents who are looking for ways in which to add to their parent commitment hours tally for the year. Please take note of the contact details and/or information on how to register to participate.
Recording Parent Hours
You can log your parent hours online, at any time. The P&F recommend that you log your hours as soon as possible after completion of the task. A separate submission should be made for each activity completed. Please click the below link to log your hours:
Please find below the current Parent Commitment Hour reports logged up to 19 October 2022. You will need your family code as shown on your St Mark's account statements to check your individual log.
Parent Commitment Hours Summary
Parent Commitment Hours Detailed
Please contact the P&F's Parent Commitment Coordinator, Mrs Sam Bean, at parentcommitment@stmarks.wa.edu.au if you have any questions regarding the Parent Commitment Hours program.
What are Parent Commitment Hours?
St Mark's has been founded on the concept of parental contribution toward a wide range of tasks necessary for the proper functioning of the School. Active involvement in the life of the School is both a precondition and a continuing condition of enrolment, and all families are required to provide a minimum of 10 hours of volunteer service per year, through supporting community activities or by providing practical help to the School. Each family is responsible for logging their own hours using this form. The School requires a minimum of 10 hours commitment per family, per annum, but many families provide well in excess of this requirement. The Parent Commitment Hours program is administered by the St Mark’s Parents & Friends’ Association (P&F). If the 10 hours commitment is not obtained, a fee of $330 will be levied by the P&F.
