VOLUNTEERS WANTED
SPARK provides curriculum, social and cultural support to newly arrived refugee children and their families through selected primary schools in Western Sydney.
SPARK is an after school homework and activities club for refugee children in Kindergarten to Year Six, run during school term. It is run by teachers and local community volunteers. Children develop confidence in themselves as they are supported to understand and complete school work, enjoy creative and recreational activities and interact and develop relationships.
Mr Thuy Giang wrote to our club before Christmas advising that the programme runs in 11 primary schools in Regents Park, Auburn, Guildford, Parramatta, Pendle Hill, Granville, Old Guildford, Girraween and Liverpool and that they are currently looking for over 100 volunteer tutors to join the program in Term 1 2012, commencing 13 February 2012
For further information on the SPARK program, please visit www.vinnies.org.au/spark or contact Thuy on 9568 0280 or on this email: spark@vinnies.org.au
Our community Services Director: Peter Beadle reports the board has resolved to encourage support and promotion of this program. |
