Criminal Record Checks

All Noon Hour Supervisors & Volunteers at Auguston MUST have a Criminal Record Check. If you are interested to apply to be a Noon Hour Supervisor or to Volunteer (in the classroom, on field trips, etc.), please see the process below for completing a Criminal Record Check.

Note that the Volunteer forms are completed annually every school year and those will be available in September. The Criminal Record Check lasts for 5 years so you could start the process now for September if interested.

Special thanks to our Indigenous Support Worker, Elder Tina Lakey, and Indigenous Support Worker Assistant, Mrs. Joyce Brozozog, for assisting students with planting them. 

Congratulations to Emmett in Div. 1 & Delaney in Div. 3 for being the fastest kids in our school for Cross Country!
