Quotes

The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think – rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men.

–Bill Beattie

Volunteers

Get involved as a Volunteer. It’s a great way to foster invaluable leadership skills.

The teaching staff and administration of the Calgary Science School recognize the immense value of the many volunteers who support our school.  There are many ways in which volunteers contribute to students learning and the culture of our School.

CSS Volunteers are needed to help directly with the school in the following ways:  school council, classroom help, field trips, outdoor education, Scholastic coordinators, science fair judges, camp sweet work bees and so much more.  There are also many ways for parents to support our school and programs indirectly with their support from home.
 

How to Become a CSS Volunteer

There are three forms you will need to complete before you can become a volunteer for the school.  There is an additional form for volunteers wishing to drive students (other than their own children) to school sponsored events. Read a full description of the process and requirements about becoming a CSS Colunteer by reading our Volunteer Handbook.
 

CSS Volunteer Registration Form
