If students are having trouble finding a place, Ms Maakrun is able to offer limited placements in the following areas. Please email her if you would like to be placed in any of the following:

  • Aged care
  • Adults with disability
  • Homeless shelters 
  • Children with disability (requires travel to Castle Hill).

The number of hours students are required to work each day will depend on their organisation and will vary. For example, volunteering at a primary school will require boys to be there from 8:30am until 3pm each day. Volunteering in a local Op Shop, on the other hand, may only require boys to volunteer in the morning, or the afternoon.

Students are expected to do at least two to three hours of volunteer work each day.

A reminder to students that the Year 10 Careers CANVAS course has a Service Week Module containing all documents and information students need to complete the process. 

Please email Ms Maakrun on mmaakrun@waverley.nsw.edu.au for any further enquiries.
