We offer many meaningful opportunities for parents to volunteer at the school and to get to know other parents.

Service learning is a key element of Greenwood’s program. Parent volunteers assist the school with the supervision of these activities, including our Grade 7 and 8 Reading Buddies program in Regent Park.
We are always looking for co-operative education placement opportunities. These provide valuable real-world learning experiences for students who spend two half days per week at a worksite for the duration of the academic year.
Held in late November/early December, the whole Greenwood community is invited to join us for this fund- and friend-raiser. Volunteers assist with administrative details, baking, sourcing gifts, greenery, décor and set-up.
Students and staff come to school in costume for this special Halloween event, which includes a costume contest. Parent volunteers coordinate décor and set-up, organize the contest and award prizes.
Held annually in late January/early February, Careers Morning gives students in Grades 9-12 the opportunity to learn from Greenwood parents and alumni about career opportunities in a wide variety of fields.
As Greenwood's Parent Organization, the Roundtable supports the school and fosters a close sense of community among parents, staff and students. The Roundtable facilitates a number of events throughout the school year, including parent socials, the WinterGreen holiday sale and staff appreciation lunches.
