School Incursions and Excursions
Throughout the school year, students have opportunities to participate in a range of incursions (on-site) and excursions (off-site). These experiences are carefully planned to enrich learning by strengthening students’ understanding of their community and environment, while broadening their awareness of community activities and occupations.
All incursions and excursions require parent/carer consent and payment. When an activity is scheduled, families will receive a notification prompting them to review the QParents consent request.
Payments can be made through QParents, BPoint or at the Administration Office. If a payment plan is required please contact the school administration staff.
