Volunteering

At St Joseph’s School Tranmere, we are always grateful for the support given by our volunteers.  Volunteering applies to a wide range of activities in the school including attending excursions, coaching sports teams, reading in the classroom, helping in the many committees and many other school-related activities.

• Committees - eg School Board, Parents & Friends, Uniform Committee, Joey’s Management Committee, OSHC Management Committee
