Lolly Jar Circus
Are you looking for a fun, rewarding way to make a difference? Lolly Jar Circus is an inclusive circus school, is offering an incredible opportunity for Years 10 to 12 students to get involved as volunteers!
Lolly Jar Circus welcomes children and young people of all abilities, including those with disabilities and those at social risk. Through exciting activities like stilt-walking, aerial silks, trapeze, hula hoop, and juggling, participants gain confidence, feel supported, and—most importantly—have an absolute blast!
As a volunteer, you’ll play a key role in helping participants feel comfortable and engaged. You might guide them during warm-up games, encourage them to join in stretches, hold a hand when someone is finding their balance, or simply be an enthusiastic role model—all under the guidance of the professional trainers. Plus, you’ll even get the chance to try some of the circus activities yourself!
Dates: Tuesdays or Wednesdays from 4.00pm – 6.30pm in North Adelaide.
Please email: ServiceLearning@StPeters.sa.edu.au or see Ms Jacqueline Cook or Ms Adele Turner with your interest and availability.
