This event is managed by school staff who will manage risk and hazards according to the school’s safety management plan.  This includes careful consideration of all procedures while carrying out the activities.  Students must listen carefully to NZ Ski instructors.  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 at 03 2116030 or [email protected]

Inclement Weather

Sometimes strong winds or other weather conditions can prevent the group from skiing. In this instance, we would take the students into Queenstown to complete a range of activities. (We have found in the past that if we ring around we can secure good group discounts at many of the tourist activities). To prevent your child having to bring money for this eventuality, we are seeking permission from you prior to departure to use the money that would have been paid for skiing/snowboarding to use towards participating in these activities. Please indicate below if you give permission for the money paid that would have been spent on skiing/snowboarding to be used for alternative activities in Queenstown
