Off-Site Activities at Brentwood
Students will participate in a variety of off-site activities, commonly referred to as ‘field trips’, away from the school. Procedures for off-site activities are clearly governed by administrative regulations and must be an integral part of the planned program of studies. Parents will be notified of each off-campus activity so that they are aware of the purpose, risks, safety precautions, costs and other requirements of the trip. Parents must complete an Acknowledgement of Risk Form for every field trip their child participates in, other than low risk trips within walking distance. Volunteers will also be required to complete an Acknowledgement of Risk Form and have an up to date police security clearance as well as attend a Volunteer Orientation session. These sessions are offered in September. Special activity fees will be collected from each student to cover the costs of the trips taken throughout the year. No child will be denied access to off-site activities because of inability to pay; parents are asked to contact the principal if this is the case. Field trip expenses are calculated on the entire group attending and the school is unable to modify pricing if students do not participate. Off-Site Activity fees are non-refundable.
