Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts
Health & Safety
Their health & safety. Our top priority.
Our school is committed to high standards of safety and cleanliness as we create a caring and nurturing environment where children can thrive. During Summer Adventure Club, we may take field trips where we employ the following measures:
- All snacks and sack lunches are prepared in the school.
- All lunches will be placed in coolers packed with ice packs to keep them cool until lunchtime.
- All staff attending field trips are required to complete a Field Trip e-learning course each year.
- All adults accompanying children on field trips obey transportation safety policies and procedures.
- If car or booster seats are required or used, school leadership and transportation teams attend a demonstration on child passenger safety seat installation prior to any field trip.
