Criminal Record Check Information
Any adult wishing to volunteer their time with SHSS students (e.g. field trip chaperone, coach, driver etc.) MUST first apply for a Criminal Records Check and be cleared through the Ministry of Justice.
The Criminal Record Check is free of charge for volunteers and can be done through the Ministry of Justice website by following the procedure below.
Procedure:
- Contact Stephanie Leithead, Vice Principal of SHSS via email ([email protected]) or telephone (250.365.7735 ext. 301) to obtain the organization’s code.
- CLICK HERE to visit the Criminal Record Check page and read through the terms to make sure that you meet the requirements.
- Enter the code provided by the school and follow the onscreen instructions.
- Results will be forwarded directly to the Vice Principal. A follow up phone call or email a week after filling in the application is required by volunteers to ensure that the information has been received by the school.
