This event contains risks, including negotiating the streets of Queenstown and risks involved with travelling and cooking their own meals. This event is supervised by school staff who will manage risk and hazards according to the school’s and personalised Geography Trip Risk Assessment Management plan.  This includes identification of possible hazards by staff on the trip who prior to it complete a Risk Assessment Plan where mitigation of possible hazards are also identified.  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 Ainslee Wilson on 03 2116030 ext 870 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 identified consequences related to school procedures (based on the severity of the behaviour) being enforced.  This may require parents/caregivers travelling to Queenstown to pick their child up.
