Volunteering:

The P&C relies on parent volunteers to help our canteen staff provide lunches to the students of Lathlain. Volunteering in the canteen is a great way to see what is offered in the canteen and meet other parents. Our canteen is welcoming and grateful to anyone who can spare a few hours to help out. You don’t need any experience to help in the canteen.
