Volunteers who are not biological parents and who do not have legal guardianship of current students may not commence or continue in child-related activities unless they hold a valid blue card. This includes grandparents of current students.
If a non-parent volunteer already has a valid blue card through another employer/organisation, their blue card will need to be 'Linked' to the school before they can commence volunteering. Please visit the office to get your card linked. Blue cards expire three years from the date of issue and must be renewed prior to expiry to ensure continued validity. If a blue card is not renewed prior to its expiry date, the 'No Card, No Start' policy applies, and the volunteer will not be able to continue volunteering until their new blue card is received.
Your blue card should be carried at all times whilst on school grounds or on excursions.

To obtain a blue card, applications can be made online and are free for volunteers. You will need to create an account at Blue Card Services—Register for an online account.
