Pullenvale Environmental Education Centre is committed to matintaining a safe, healthy and supportive environment for our staff and our visiting students and adults.
It is our expectation that we will all work together in pursuit of Pullenvale Environmental Education Centre’s vision:
Living and Learning for sustainability – making connections
between self, others and place.
Central to this vision is our way of working, which is displayed, discussed and enacted with all visiting students and adults:
“Speak and Act with Respect: to Self, Others and Place”
Following this way of working in addition to specific safety instructions given throughout the day helps to keep us all healthy, safe and happy and allows us to respectfully manage
student behavior.
Health, safety and wellbeing is everybody’s responsibility and we ask all visiting students and adults to:
- Wear closed in footwear, comfortable weather appropriate clothing and a hat
- Apply insect repellent and sunscreen at home/school prior to your visit & bring your own to reapply if necessary.
- Wear large, clearly written nametags that are easy to read at a distance
We also request visiting teachers to:
- Notify PEEC in advance of any important information about visiting students or adults and how they can be supported (ie. Special needs, medical conditions, allergies, learning styles, mobility, behavior, anxieties etc). This information may
- require PEEC to make adjustments to the program in advance.
- Bring a complete Class List with any important information about visiting students or adults on the day of your excursion. Please discuss this information with your PEEC teacher on the day as soon as you arrive.
- Ask parent helpers NOT to bring younger siblings.
- Prepare to become involved in the day and enjoy yourself. This models that it is OK to imagine, pretend and have fun. Please let your parent helpers know this too.
