Volunteering At TAB

The Halton District School Board values and recognizes that volunteers enhance the learning experiences of our students and strengthen school and community partnerships. Volunteering is an opportunity to model and promote the value of developing positive relationships as caring and contributing citizens within our community.

Here at T.A.Blakelock we welcome parents, guardians and community members as volunteers who support the life of the school (such as field trips, breakfast programs, school council or careers day). Please contact your students' coach or teacher for specific volunteer needs within the school.​​

All volunteers must have a Police Vulnerable Sector Record Check from the within the last 6 months according to the current HDSB Administrative Procedure. For further information refer to the Halton Regional Police Service website. ​​​If there is a Criminal Background Check with vulnerable sector screening on file at the school, the volunteer is required to complete the HDSB's Annual Offence Dec​​laration​ for subsequent years.

We welcome all parents and guardians to attend our School Council meetings to stay informed and involved with what is going on in and around the school. Check out our School Council page for council executive details, meeting minutes and dates of future meetings.

​The Education Act empowers boards to collect personal information under section 315, subsections 1, 2 and 3. Thus the requirement of a Police Record Check may be authorized by a board “to ensure the safety of pupils". Personal information is defined in s. 315(3) as having “the same meaning as in s. 38 of Freedom of Information and protection of Privacy Act and s. 28 of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act".
