Volunteer awards

There are many wonderful volunteers, and groups of volunteers, in our schools and preschools. Why not nominate them for an award - either the Premier's certificate of recognition for outstanding volunteer service or a South Australian volunteer certificate of appreciation. For more information see https://ofv.sa.gov.au/programs/volunteer-certificate-recognition-program
