Coaches and Volunteers

Approval and orientation

All coaches require administrative approval before beginning. Community volunteers must complete the official documentation and screening appropriate to their role. Coach orientation must occur before duties begin, including for coaches joining during the year.

Representing the school

Coaches and volunteers represent Carbonear Collegiate. Model respectful conduct and maintain appropriate adult student boundaries. Humiliation, discrimination, harassment, threats and profanity directed at others are inconsistent with this role.

Communication and confidentiality

Use school approved communication methods and keep families informed. Protect student medical and personal information. Do not publish student information or images without school authorization and applicable consent. Report safety concerns promptly through school procedures.

Daily responsibilities

Maintain appropriate supervision from student arrival through dismissal. Confirm student clearance, emergency arrangements, safe equipment and facility access. Stop an activity when conditions are unsafe and seek school direction.

Continued appointment

Coaching remains subject to administrative approval. Concerns may result in direction, revised duties or withdrawal of volunteer approval. Use the Before You Coach checklist and acknowledgement in Resources.
