Booking Policy
Schools and teachers need to be reminded of the many applications received each year to utilise this centre. It is inevitable that a number of schools miss out. The staff at this Centre have the unenviable job of advising schools that their application has been unsuccessful.
Within our allocation policy, we attempt to ensure equity of opportunity to all schools. When allocating places our policy guidelines take into account the following factors:
•large and small schools - small school combining is a favourable option
•geographically isolated schools
•State schools vs Non-state schools
•schools that applied and missed out the previous year
•repeat client schools
•group size
•schools with a preference for a 4 or 5 day residential experience
•order of incoming application submission
•teachers that are seeking a genuine educational experience for their students with a balance of outdoor and environmental learning objectives and a clear understanding of how your visit best supports your students’ learning in the classroom
While every attempt to accommodate date preferences occurs and we endeavour to satisfy our client's choice, please understand there are many schools accessing our services and dates allocated are carefully thought out.
