Getting Involved

Volunteering your time and skills.

Coleridge Primary School and our PSA, Coleridge Families, encourages and values the participation of everyone in our community.

There are many ways to get involved…

Socialise & have fun

Organise a coffee morning or evening meet-up with your Class Rep.
Join the class WhatsApp group (or suggest to your Rep starts one). Some classes have a ‘Noticeboard’ group where only the Reps post school and event reminders, and then another separate group for everyone to chat and socialise.
Join the Coleridge Families closed Facebook groups to start or join conversations with others, as well as buy/sell/give away used items in our marketplace.
