St Mary's RC Primary School are looking for additional volunteers on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 3.30pm - 4pm to help support their reading club. 

This is a great opportunity to get some work experience for future job applications and a fantastic way to give back and create connections with our primary school pupils. 

You will be expected to help pupils with very simple reading tasks such as correcting pupils spelling and pronunciation of words while they read to you. Training and support will be provided.

Please speak to Miss Robertson at the library if you would like to find out more. 

If  you already volunteer for this please also see Miss Robertson to confirm your wish to continue.
