Privacy Notice:
The Department of Education and
Training (DET) is collecting the personal information requested as part of this
excursion process in order to:
- obtain lawful consent for your child to
participate in the activity;
- help coordinate the activity;
- respond to any injury or medical condition that
may arise during, or as a result of the activity; and
- update school records where necessary.
The information will only be
accessed by authorised school staff and will be dealt with in accordance with
the confidentiality requirements of as applicable, s.426 of the Education
(General Provisions) Act 2006 (Qld) and the Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld)
and/or the Privacy Act 1988 (Commonwealth).
The information will not be
disclosed to any other person or agency unless the disclosure is authorised or
required by law, or you have given the Department permission for the
information to be disclosed.
As excursions and camps are
conducted away from school grounds, there is an increased duty of care,
responsibility, and accountability placed on staff as there are fewer support
resources available. Students who are deemed to have demonstrated regular, inappropriate,
unacceptable and/or unsafe behaviours while in the capacity of a Capalaba State
College student, may pose an unacceptable risk to the school’s obligations
under duty of care. Decisions about whether a student will attend an excursion
or camp will be made by the Principal in consultation with the Deputy Principal
and Year Level Coordinator after conducting a risk assessment in consultation
with the parent of the student. The student and their family will be advised
accordingly after a decision has been made. Students who are unable to attend
an excursion or camp will have alternative arrangements made for a program of
work to be undertaken at school for the duration of the activity.
Students will be expected to comply
with the terms of the Student Code of Conduct (2020 - 2023) for the duration of
this activity.
