School incursions, excursions and camps are aligned to the intended curriculum and are designed to broaden students' knowledge and extend social development. Students have the opportunity to participate in various incursions and excursions throughout the year. Students should be encouraged and given the opportunity to be involved in such activities as they play an important part in their educational development. In most cases children are expected to wear full school tartan uniform when participating in excursions and incursions.
Some excursions and incursions incur a cost for students to be able to attend. A letter and permission form will be distributed to families, outlining details, including cost, venue, departure and arrival times and travel arrangements. Parents / carers will receive an invoice for payment. Payment can also be made through the QParents app.
School Camping Program
Children in Years 4, 5, 6 are given the opportunity to attend a school camp. The camps are held in various locations over 3 days and 2 nights. Camps are designed to ensure they provide both curriculum and social skill building for students. Skills such as initiative, self-reliance, communication and teamwork ability are developed. Your child's safety is important to us and children will only be permitted to participate in activities with permission and when safety equipment is worn.
Parent/carer consent is required for students to participate. Inappropriate behaviour during any school activity may lead to a student being withdrawn from participating, sent home or withdrawn from future activities, at the discretion of the Principal.
At times families may be experiencing financial hardship. Such hardships should not prevent children participating in the school camps. Please approach the Principal or Deputy Principal to find a solution so that your child is not disadvantaged.
