This event contains risks, relating to water and could involve injuries from slipping or falling while walking round the pool. This event is managed by school staff who will manage risk and hazards according to the school’s safety management plan along with the staff from Splash Palace.  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 Nathan Muir in charge of activity [email protected] or 03 2116030.

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 the student being returned to school.
