1 Excursion- Camps and adventure activity policy The nature and extent of excursions, camps and adventure activities conducted by Melton Primary School will depend on the general educational policies developed by the School Council in relation to the requirements and priorities of the School Strategic Plan and the school Annual Implementation Plan. The Department of Education & Early Childhood Development procedures and requirements relating to preparation and safety must be observed in the conduct of all excursions. Ultimately, the responsibility for the safe and proper conduct of any school excursion, camp or adventure activity rests with the Principal, who must ensure that appropriate arrangements are made. The Principal will not permit any such activity to proceed unless the arrangements are considered to be satisfactory by all concerned. Aims, c and adventure To provide students with the opportunity to participate in a camping program that is linked to social, cultural and educational outcomes for students. To provide shared class and year level experiences, team building and a sense of group cohesiveness. To reinforce and extend classroom learning. To provide a program that delivers skills and knowledge that may lead to a lifelong involvement in worthwhile leisure pursuits. To provide a program that promotes self-esteem, resourcefulness, independence, leadership, judgement, cooperation and tolerance. To further develop their problem solving and life survival skills To extend understanding of their physical and cultural environment Approval for excursion, camps and adventure activities School Council approval: The School Council is responsible for the approval of all overnight excursions, school camps, interstate visits, excursions requiring sea or air travel or excursions involving weekends or vacations and all adventure activities. The Council needs to consider the contribution of the activity to the school program, its costs and the adequacy of planning and preparation. It must also consider the welfare and safety of the students, having regard to the advice given by the Principal. Principal approval: The Principal is responsible for the approval of any single day excursions other than those included above.
2 Accident Compensation for Teachers Concerned For accident compensation purposes the Principal should issue a statement of assignment duties prior to the conduct of council approved excursions to cover members of staff concerned. I,... Principal of... School, hereby allocate, pursuant to Regulation 2A of the Teaching Service (Governor in Council) Regulation, to... being members of the Teaching Service employed at the said school, the duty of accompanying, supervising and ensuring the general care, safety and welfare of students of Year... of the said school, travelling to and from and attending... Signature of the Principal... Permission Forms Permission forms must be returned and signed by parents / carers before the excursion. If the Permission Form is not signed and returned, along with the relevant monetary payment, by the due date the student will not attend the activity. Pre- Excursion Procedures For School Council approved excursions The School Council must be notified of a planned activity well in advance, enabling the School Council to make an informed decision, also allowing parents adequate time to pay. For excursions, camps and adventure activities, parents must be kept fully informed of all details well in advance of the planned activity. For overnight excursions, camps and adventure activities, if less than 80% of available students attend then the viability of the activity will be reviewed. Clear details of plans and organisation must be prepared for School Council. The School office will complete the Notification of School Activity online at 4 weeks prior to the camp departure date, and pass on to the Assistant Principal to ensure relevant details are recorded in the Daily Organisational Diary and are entered on the daily absence/planning sheets. Principal approved excursion The Principal must be informed of such an excursion no less than six weeks prior to the event. Parents must be notified at least five weeks prior to the excursion. The Excursions Procedure form must be filled out in every detail one week prior to the excursion. The said form is available from the Principal or Assistant Principal. Guidelines for supervision School parents have a responsibility Additional assistance Voluntary workers, parents, ancillary staff, external specialists and other adult members of the community can be used as excursion staff members and included in the staff-student ratios on school excursions provided that:
3 for School Council approved excursions that the council is satisfied that each worker is able to provide effective supervision of the activities involved and that all excursion staff are approved by the school council prior to the excursion. for Principal approved excursions that the Principal is satisfied that each worker is able to provide effective supervision of the activities involved sufficient teachers are present to maintain adequate control of the whole excursion and to control each activity. In general, teachers shall comprise at least half the excursion staff. Any additional adult helpers that are not part of Melton Primary School s staffing will be required to attend a short briefing session prior to the excursion being held. This session is to outline the support roles that they will be required to undertake during the excursion and the responsibilities that they have to the students attending the excursion. This briefing session is to be organised and run by the teacher in charge of the excursion and may be arranged at a time suitable to all parties. NB Any additional helpers must have a current Working With Children Check. It is therefore imperative that excursion coordinators plan their staffing well in advance. Staff Requirements Sufficient excursion staff to ensure proper supervision must be provided. In deciding what constitutes sufficient excursion staff, the Principal and School Council should take into account not only the provisos above, but also the previous experience of the excursion staff, the age and sex of the students, the size of the group, the nature and location of the excursion, the activities to be undertaken and any other factors of which they are aware. For all excursions involving overnight stays or adventure activities, at least two excursion staff must be present. (For primary schools, two adults, at least one of whom must be a teacher, must always be present). For all excursions involving overnight stays for mixed parties the excursion staff should include at least one person of each sex. (For primary school this is not essential but it is desirable.) Staffing ratios recommended are provided to give guidance to organisers of activities. It is the responsibility of the principal to ensure that sufficient staff are present to ensure adequate supervision in each circumstance of the particular excursion and the activities to be undertaken on it. The council must satisfy itself that adequate supervision is provided. Organisation All food, equipment, staffing, organization of activities and student management procedures must be addressed prior to the camp. Consideration needs to be given to students with special dietary and medical requirements. Parents should notify the staff in writing regarding special dietary and medical requirements when returning consent forms. Office staff will be responsible for managing and monitoring the payments made by parents and will provide organizing teachers with detailed records on a regular basis. The office staff must provide the teacher in charge with a final student list. In the case where a camp involves a particular class or year level group, the organizing teacher will ensure that there is an alternative program available for those students not attending the camp. The school will provide a mobile phone and first aid kit for each camp. The teacher in charge is responsible for collecting these prior to leaving. Parents may be invited to assist in the delivery of school camps. When deciding which parents will attend the organizing teacher will take into account any valuable skills offered (e.g. bus licence, first aid, etc), gender balance and special needs of particular students. For high risk Outdoor Education activities the staff member organizing must have suitable training and current qualifications. All staff members must be aware of the increased duty of care. The teacher in charge will ensure that student medical forms are available at the site and all camp staff are aware of special medical issues or medication requirements of any student.
4 One staff member will be designated to take responsibility for administering student medication if required. (following consultation with parents and/or appropriate medical practitioners) Guidelines for staff- Student ratio Day Excursions: (not involving adventure activities) One staff member per twenty students for excursions of up to one day duration Overnight Excursions: Base camp in residential premises or under canvas - one staff member per ten students Overnight Tours: including interstate tours) One staff member per fifteen students Additional staff may be required depending on the itinerary. Adventure activities: Bushwalking: overnight - one staff member to five students day walks - one staff member to ten students Canoeing: one staff member to six students Snow Activities: one staff member to five students Orienteering: one staff member to ten students Cycling: one staff member to ten students Horse riding: varies from one to one to one staff member to five students Parent communication All aspects of the camp will be outlined to parents in writing, including cost, sleeping arrangements, itinerary, activities, clothing and equipment lists, contact phone numbers, transport arrangements, student management processes, permission and medical forms and clearly stated payment finalization dates. All families will be given sufficient time to make payments for camps. All parental consent and medical forms must be completed, signed and returned and all money must be paid prior to leaving. Copies of completed permission notes and medical information must be accessible at the camp location by staff at all times. Only students that have displayed sensible, reliable behaviour at school will be permitted to participate in school camps. Parents will be notified if their child is in danger of losing the privilege to participate in a camp due to poor behaviour at school. The decision to exclude a student will be made by the Principal, Assistant Principal, Director of Well Being, in consultation with the organizing teacher. Both the parent and the student will be informed of this decision prior to the camp. All students participating in a school camp will be asked to sign a contract agreeing to abide by all camp rules. Parents will be requested to collect their child from camp if their child exhibits behaviour that is considered unacceptable or a danger to others. The Teacher in Charge, in consultation with a member of the leadership team, will make this decision. Costs incurred will be the responsibility of the parent. Refunds for excursions If your child is absent on the day of an excursion a medical certificate is required to obtain a part/ full refund. (If pre-paid tickets/food items have been purchased for an event, a full refund will not be possible)
5 Families with extenuating circumstances Date: March 2013 PROCEDURES: The following process is adopted in relation to collection of monies for excursions, swimming, visiting troupes and the like. Notices are issued to relevant parents (that is for the classes concerned) no later than 5 weeks prior to the date of the event. Teachers are required to provide details of the incursion/excursion, the purpose in relation to curriculum cost involved, when the money is to be sent to school and the date of the event. The closing date for payment of money is the week prior to the event. The closing date is to be clearly stated on notices and subsequent newsletters. The five working days gives teachers and office staff time to determine the number attending an event and thereby arrange adequate staffing of the event and to make adequate arrangements for supervision of children not attending. This timeframe enables office staff to finalize accounts for the excursion and to arrange cheques for those venues that require payment on the day. This also enables the school to advise excursion venues and Emergency Management of numbers of students and staff attending. Current notices and return slips for forthcoming excursions and events are available for collection in the foyer adjacent to the General Office. Please note that all signed permission forms are kept in the office until the day of the excursion. Excursion coordinators must make copies of these forms to take with them on the excursion. The original forms are to remain at school. To ensure maximum attendance grade teachers should constantly remind children about the date of the event and the closing date for payments. EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES: 1. Parents who are experiencing financial difficulties may contact the school prior to the closing date for payments to negotiate a payment plan. If approval is given by the Principal the parent must sign and return the permission form prior to the closing date to ensure staffing can be suitably allocated. Payments may then be made according to the agreed plan. 2. Families who are experiencing financial difficulties MAY be offered assistance with payment. This is at the discretion of the Principal. However, they must approach the school prior to the closing date for payment of the event. 3. Children who are newly enrolled at Melton Primary School after the closing date for payment of an incursion/excursion and before the event cannot take part unless there is an available position on the bus and at the venue and it does not cause problems within the adult/student supervision ratio. 4. The school will not accept payments for incursions/excursions once the closing date for payments has passed; other than in relation to points 1, 2 or 3 above. This school believes that the process described above is fair and gives all parents enough time and notice to pay for an event before the close of payment.
6 PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS This section needs to be submitted for approval at least 6 weeks prior to the event date. Late submissions will not be allowed.

19 Appendix C Guidelines for teachers planning a camp 1. Introduction Camps need to be planned well in advance and should relate to the curriculum being taught. Students and their parents should be provided with information about the program s educational objectives, the nature of the activities, clothing requirements, the venue and costs well in advance. Prior to single day excursions in which students leave the school grounds for the purpose of engaging in educational activities, the approval of the principal must be obtained. School Council is responsible for the approval of: over night excursions camps interstate and overseas visits excursions requiring sea or air travel excursions involving weekends or vacations adventure activities Before approving an excursion, consideration by the principal and/or School Council needs to include: the contribution of the activity to the School curriculum the adequacy of planning, preparation and organisation the provisions of the safety and welfare of students and staff the experience and competence of staff relative to the activities being undertaken the adequacy of student supervision the cost A parent must provide written consent for their child to take part in an excursion. Parents asked to sign consent forms must be given sufficient information about the nature of the proposed activity, the risks involved and the degree of supervision. Parental consent is required for the following reasons: to authorise the school to have the student in its care after normal school hours to authorise the school to take the student out of the school environment to alert the school to any medical condition or allergies of the student to authorise the school to consent to emergency treatment for the student Unitt Street, Melton Vic Phone (03) * (03) * Fax (03) melton.ps@edumail.vic.gov.au * ABN

In addition to any teachers employed by the DEECD or the School Council, excursion staff may include other adults on a volunteer or paid worker basis, such as parents, school services officers, community members, campsite staff and trainee teachers. School uniforms must be worn on all school excursions except whenever specialised clothing is a requirement, e.g. snow trip. Only students who display sensible and reliable behaviour at school will be taken on camps and excursions outside the school. Sensible and reliable behaviour at camps and excursions will be expected at all times. Students can be sent home if their behaviour warrants a severe consequence. 2. Planning Forward planning takes into consideration whole school demands and must ensure that the normal school program is not consistently disrupted. Planning should include: a clear aim costing transport, admission, etc (the costing must be realistic in terms of the nature of the experience and the resultant learning outcomes) the opportunity for payment in advance, by instalments or lump sum payment may be offered to parents staffing needs pre-visit if venue is new/unknown consideration of children whose parents may not be able to meet costs excursion book maintained for evaluation of the camp/excursion for future planning excursion approval forms to be completed and handed in one week prior to the activity arrangements for covering camp staff classes while they are away from school 3.
