What You Need To Know
Volunteer Training
CEIS maintains sessions in schools because local Christians volunteer. CEIS supports all volunteers by providing resources, team leaders and a training session every term. Anyone interested in volunteering in a school is welcome to join one of our term training sessions (choose a session below most suitable for you). The first 30 minutes are dedicated to those who are NEW (while others pray) and then we combine to walk through the term session.

RESOURCE DAY
CEIS has a resource-making day once per term to prepare the various items for the upcoming session. This is a fun way to support CEIS with no special skills required. Come along to the CEIS office (6/92 Hoskins St MITCHELL) any time between 10.00am – 2.00pm and join in with cutting, laminating, gluing or similar (all will be explained). Great conversation and a light lunch provided. At midday (Term 4) we will pause and pray – an office blessing for our new premises!
