Students participate in excursions through the year and also have the opportunity to engage in events occurring in school as part of the curriculum for all students from Foundation to Grade 6.
A two year Camping program is also part of the school curriculum, from Foundation to Grade 6. These experiences are a valuable extension and reinforcement of classroom learning. They relate closely to the school curriculum and provide meaningful learning situations, including social skills, leadership, respect for the environment and engagement.
Prior to any event, full details are circulated to parents/ carers on Compass. For a student to attend an excursion or camp, it is mandatory for parents to provide the school with signed consent via the Compass event. This indicates to the school that the students are able to attend the activity and that the school can act on the parents' behalf in emergency circumstances.
Most activities incur a cost and are not included as part of the Parent Payment contributions paid at the beginning of the year. The consent form states the details of the activity, cost and payment options available to parents for that activity. These include BPAY, Compass and using CSEF funds (if eligible). Payment plans are available for families experiencing financial difficulties. Please see the office for more information.
Please note: It is important that families adhere to the due date to allow confirmation of numbers for buses excursion/camp venues and catering purposes. There are no exceptions to this expectation
