Volunteering at South Poplar
The Ministry of Justice requires ANY volunteer who comes near or works around children to complete a criminal record check (CRC). The reason for this is to ensure the safety of our students at all times. This means that all volunteers must obtain the same CRC clearance as employees. The CRC process can take up to 4 weeks and will be valid for 5 years.
Step 1: Email criminal.check@abbyschools.ca and request the online volunteer CRC application link. In the email include your full legal name and if you have a BC Services Card Account. If you don't have a BC Services Account, click here to find out more.
Step 2: Complete the application. If you do NOT have a BC Services Card account you will need to report to reception at the School Board Office with two pieces of ID (see list of acceptable ID below).
Step 3: Complete the following online forms and submit them to the school office (hard copies are also available):
AP 416-1 Letter of Understanding
AP 416-2 Volunteer Application Form
AP 416-4 Confidentiality Understanding
