Volunteer

Volunteers are essential to a school. Without our volunteers, we would not be able to offer everything we do at New Germany Rural Highschool.

To volunteer at any school in the South Shore Regional Centre for Education, the volunteer must request a Criminal Records Check (including Vulnerable Sector Check) and a Child Abuse Register - Request of Search form and submit both to the school where they would like to volunteer. These forms will then be forwarded onto the SSRCE Human Resources Department to be approved before commencing volunteering. These screening tools must be updated every three years.

If a volunteer will be driving students (with the exception of driving their own child), a Form J must also be filled out and submitted to the school before driving students.

Volunteering in a school is a very valuable experience. If you are interested in volunteering at New Germany Rural Highschool, please review the information above. The appropriate paper work can be picked up from the office. We look forward to working with you!

Since 1997, the Nova Scotia International Student Program has welcomed students from around the world into homes across Nova Scotia. Working in partnership with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, students are given the opportunity to improve their English language skills while learning first-hand about life in Canada.

Eligible students come from all over the world and are carefully matched with Nova Scotian host families with the help of our dedicated homestay coordinators. Students range in age from 8-18 years old and stay anywhere from one month to one year.

Participating in the Program can be a life changing experience for both students and their host families. Get involved today!
