Building communities and transforming futures is an integral part of the Rolleston College Spirit. Many of our learners already volunteer their time, both inside school and within the community. This year, our school council will be working with learners to provide opportunities to volunteer and find their own way to show leadership amongst their peers. 

Learners have the opportunity to sign up and log these hours on the Student Volunteer Army (SVA) app which is a nationally recognised service award. Every hour of voluntary work will accumulate towards badges that can be proudly displayed on learners blazers. A record of volunteering will also be available to utilise in job, study, apprenticeship and scholarship applications.

More information about the Student Volunteer Army service awards can be found on their website www.sva.org.nz.
