How To Help

We have many ways you can volunteer to help the school and our students to succeed. Your support will be noticed by all members of our school community - students, parents, staff - and your contribution will be appreciated!

You can get involved by assisting around the school, organizing events and fundraisers, or by joining one or more of the many committees and organizations. You can also help to support the school's activities with a donation of funds or "wish list items", both of which are tax deductible.

Thank you in advance for helping! We would also like to thank those already supporting us.
