English proficiency for volunteers

Volunteers wishing to teach ethics will need spoken English proficiency equivalent to an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of 7 or above to teach and interact effectively and confidently.

Not sure if you, or a candidate you’ve just interviewed, meets that criteria?

Compare these two videos to help you decide:

COVID-19 Update

We are supporting our school communities by keeping volunteers at home this term and offering families a digital program instead. Our volunteers will be back in classrooms as soon as education and health experts allow, which we expect to be early in Term 3 (perhaps late July or early August). Volunteer applications are still welcomed, and our volunteer training is now available online. Please see our Education page to access our digital lessons, which are shorter variations of our classroom lessons and suited to children at home.
