Excursion Forms
Excursion Procedures:
All families will have received a letter home in the mail outlining new excursion procedures for Semester 2, 2009. The aim of these changes is to make communication and payment processes simpler and more efficient for parents, staff and students. The changes are summarised below:
- All parents will need to complete one excursion form for all general excursions (i.e. sport, subject based excursions etc.) that must be returned to the General Office by Wednesday June 24. All school council approved activities (i.e. camps and high risk activities) will require a separate permission form. Students will not be able to participate in school excursions without this form being completed fully and signed by their parents.
- Parents will be notified of excursions via email (unless families have already requested a hard copy). All excursion notices will be downloadable from the college website in the calendar section.
- Excursions requiring payment will still need to be processed at the General Office. This will involve one of the two following payment options
o Bpay – We are currently in the processes of implementing Bpay. We anticipate this being ready in the near future. Payments for all excursions, camps, books, fees etc. will be able to be done through this system.
- Teachers will take a print out of medical and emergency contact information from school records on the excursion with them. Therefore it is very important that all medical information at the college is up to date. This is the parent’s responsibility to ensure the college has current relevant information. If you would like to update your medical information a medical update form can be downloaded below. This then needs to be returned to the General Office.
If you have any queries regarding these procedures please contact John Ballagh at school anytime.
