Volunteer Opportunities

One of the goals of the BPC is to provide an opportunity for contribution, relationship building, fun and the satisfaction of working with like-minded people toward a common purpose. There are a variety of areas in which members of our school community can participate.

Major Events

BROCKTON GALA

The Brockton Gala is the BPC’s major fundraiser for the year and requires a great deal of planning and organization. Volunteer requirements include the event planning and production, procurement of donations and sponsorships, event marketing and closure. A wide range of responsibilities and time commitments are available to those wishing to be involved.

SUMMER FEST

This fun event provides an opportunity for us to give back to our wider community. The fair is held the first Sunday of June and requires several months of planning and preparation as well as the participation of all our families. A wide range of opportunities for participation are available, from weeks of planning and organization through to a shift on the day of the event.

CLASS REPRESENTATIVES

Each class has a class representative who assists with parent communication, coordination of parent volunteers for class related events and other activities as requested by the teacher. The time commitment involved is relatively small.
