Please help our students: volunteers needed to assist with assessments and examinations

Are you free on any or all of these dates?

• Monday             6 August          8.20 am – 11.00 am
• Tuesday            7 August          8.20 am – 11.00 am
• Wednesday      15 August        1.00 pm – 4.30 pm (TBC)

For various reasons, some students are granted permission to receive help with reading and/or writing in Year 12 assessments and examinations. We are looking for adults to assist them, at the above times and at other times throughout the year.

If acting as a Scribe, you write exactly what the student tells you to write.

You do not need to have knowledge of a subject and/or exceptional handwriting; legibility is all that is required,

To act as a Reader, fluent reading ability is needed. Again, NO knowledge of the subject is expected. Training will be given and there is always a teacher on hand to assist during assessments.

General supervisors are also needed for students who are allowed extra time or rest breaks during examinations. No qualifications are needed.

Assessments and examinations take place throughout the year.

It would be wonderful if you were able to volunteer for a block of time, but we know this might be difficult, so please assist us for whatever time you can. Please email me to volunteer or find out more ljoffe@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au

If you know of anyone else who might like to help – university student or other adult, please pass this request on to them. Volunteers will need to have a current Working with Children Check.

Many thanks on behalf of our students.
