Clerical volunteers are 'on-call' for occasional administrative support opportunities at the school.

If you sign-up for this opportunity, you will be contacted for your availability when a specific job is identified.

Volunteers meet bi-weekly to manage items in Lost and Found. They are sorted, hung up, and if labeled, distributed to the student to be reclaimed. Unclaimed items are displayed once a month in the Alan Brown Great Hall, and if not claimed should be bagged and removed (either sent to a charity (annually) or sold at or sold at the school's uniform sale. 4-8 parents share this job and usually rotate. The distribution of the tasks and day/time is flexible but needs a school year-round commitment.

Volunteers will work together to decorate the Senior School Reception Desk for special occasions throughout the year. They may work as a group, in teams of two or singularly (dividing up the occasions as they see fit) and a two-year commitment is preferred. The decorating can be done on a flexible schedule during appropriate hours while students are either in class or off campus; however, not during peak times (i.e. morning attendance, recess or lunch breaks, pick-up).

The decorations should be simple, welcoming and child-friendly. Volunteers are responsible for providing their own decorations and/or may borrow items already present at the school (which may be limited).

There are nine occasions identified as decorating opportunities (along with the approximate month they occur in): Back to School (September), Halloween (October), Diwali (November), Holiday (December), Lunar New Year (January), Valentines Day (February), Easter (March/April), Springtime (May), Happy Summer (June).

Volunteers will coordinate the installation of the decorations (which will take place within a reasonable time-frame before the occasion) and will ensure the fairly prompt removal of the decor after the occasion.
