This event contains risks, including getting injured while completing one of the 60 hands-on activities. This event is supervised by school staff and Science roadshow who will manage risk and hazards according to the school’s safety management plan. This includes all helpers going through a safety briefing which is passed on to each student at the activity. While risks can be maintained to acceptable levels they cannot be totally eliminated. Some risk is retained for its learning and experiential value. If you wish to come in to school to see our safety management systems or have any questions, feel free to contact Mel Young, Assistant to the Head of Science. at 03 2116030 or [email protected]
It is important for safety reasons that students follow instructions given to them by all staff and follow all appropriate school rules. Behaviour by students that is deemed dangerous and puts themselves and/or others at undue risk will result in not being able to attend future science roadshow field trips.
This trip is now full. If you would like to be put on a waitlist please email Mrs Young at [email protected]
