Students are expected to take part in curriculum related study or similar day trips arranged in school time. School expectations of students' behaviour apply on all trips. Information letters and permission slips distributed prior to events outline the purpose and cost involved. By signing the permission slip, the parent/guardian gives permission for the student to undertake all activities involved in the trip and acknowledges that the fee paid is non-refundable unless explicitly stated. The parent/guardian also accepts that school is not responsible for any property stolen on the trip, as well as anything lost or damaged by the student. Parents/guardians are responsible for ensuring the student gets to and from the point of departure.
Information meetings are scheduled prior to trips lasting more than one school day (see Calendar). If a student cannot participate in a school trip, he/she should bring a letter, signed by parent/guardian, indicating the reason. This letter should be presented to school administration within one week of communication about the trip having been issued. If a student does not participate in a compulsory school trip, he/she is expected to attend school, presenting him/herself to the school administration upon arrival.
