CODE OF CONDUCT FOR STUDENTS – YEAR 7 CAMP
Below are the requirements students must accept and comply with to participate in the camp.
The Year 7 Camp is being conducted as part of the school’s outdoor education program. Accordingly, all school rules, as set out in the Behaviour for Learning Policy, apply. Smoking, vaping, consumption of alcohol and the use of any illicit substances, possession of such paraphernalia are forbidden at any time during the camp. If students are caught in possession of any of these items, they will be sent home at the parents’ expense. Mobile phones are not permitted on the camp. Students who bring mobile phones will have them confiscated for the remainder of the camp
You are expected to show respect at all times and act as ambassadors for your school, family, and community. All participants must conduct themselves in a way that upholds safety by following instructions and demonstrating respect for teachers, peers, OEG operators, and the environment. Students must not allow anyone other than a member of staff into their cabin. Boys and girls are not permitted to visit or stay in any room other than their own room. Dining areas and outdoor spaces are available for students to socialise.
Please remember that in a group it is essential to keep in mind that all activities are carefully planned for the benefit of the whole group as well as the individual and as such you are expected to participate fully. There will be times when compromise on the part of the individual student may become necessary. Participants are expected to be courteous and respectful of the needs of the whole group and to conduct themselves accordingly.
Your health and safety are the main priority. Please do not do anything without express authority from the staff that endangers you, the group, or the integrity of the experience.
