Excursions Policy

See also: Tours Policy

Staff are encouraged to undertake tours and visits.


 * You must tell the Head of Admin and Planning well in advance of your excursion (a minimum of a term's notice) and liaise with him/her to find a suitable date on the school planner.
 * Thereafter, the HOD must seek approval from the Executive prior to making any further arrangements.
 * It is the teacher's responsibility to ensure that there is sufficient funds allocated to transport, entrance costs, etc. in the current budget for any excursion.
 * Each pupil must be indemnified by the parent/guardian before leaving the college campus. This is merely to inform parents that their child will be away from the campus, for a specified time period at a particular venue.
 * Disruption of the daily school programme must be avoided if at all possible.
 * No excursions may be planned for Grade 12 in the 3rd term, unless a special waiver has been granted by the Academic Head.
 * If educational visits have to be organised during school hours please do not finalise any arrangements until you have cleared them with the Academic Head, who will liaise with the rest of the staff.
 * Ensure that you ask for substitution to be arranged.
 * Teachers accompanying pupils on the excursion must ensure that all classes are left constructive work for that day.
