We are looking for volunteer guides on either or both days of Far Out Science 2024!

OUR ASK: We need volunteers to guide school groups, with their teachers, from buses in the morning to their sessions around campus and back to Lazenby. Where possible, we try to have the same guide with the one group all day, but we are pretty flexible, give us the time you are able. You get to join in the sessions or meet them at the end of each session to lead them to the next spot. 

You will be given a Far Out Science T-shirt and free lunch. This year we need all our guides to have a WWC AAP number for UNE WHS to verify, https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/services/working-with-children, just as a volunteer not as a paid worker so no cost involved.

 You and each class teacher have a roster of their sessions and a map of where these are. Teachers are responsible for their class groups behaviour, first aid and any allergy or special requirements.

 These are really fun days, the students have often travelled for many hours to get here and are excited and ready to be wowed by possibilities, these experiences can truly make a difference in their lives.

 More information below:
