We passionately believe that all our children have skills and talents that should be celebrated and developed to support them to be the best that they can be.

We are seeking a deputy treasurer to join our board as we navigate our way through the challenges presented by the current Covid-19 crisis, and plan for mitigating the longer-term impacts.

What are the benefits to you?
