School incursions and excursions
Children will be given the opportunity to go to various incursions (on school site) and excursions (off school site) during the school year. These have been planned to enrich their knowledge of the community and environment, and to widen their knowledge of the activities and the occupations of people in the community.
Through Qparents, all excursions and incursions require a signed consent and payment invoice for children to be able to attend. When this is needed, families will receive an email from the school requesting them to review thier Qparent notification. The notification outlining costs, venues, times and any travel arrangements; as well as a Tax Invoice. Payments for these can be made through Qparents (preferrred option) or at the Admin Office. Payment plans can be negotiated with our Business Manager if required.

The school has an extensive camping program for Years 4-6. Parents/carers are encouraged to send their children on these educational experiences. Parents/carers will be given advance notice of these camps.
