After collaboration with parents, your school may contact the TEEC coordinating teacher to develop systems, to ensure that any individual student's needs can be catered for if necessary.
Quality programs and safety procedures are paramount to the operations of the Tinaroo Environmental Education Centre.
This is achieved through:
• Highly trained and qualified instructional staff
• All TEEC teachers hold a current Senior First Aid Certificate
• All staff are involved with an annual induction/refresher courses
• Curriculum Activity Risk Assessments (CARA) are completed for medium and high risk activities. CARAs are comprehensively reviewed by all TEEC teaching staff annually, with changes and modifications made throughout the year based on best practice. These are incorporated within the activity to ensure control measures are implemented by the centre to avoid or minimise risks
• Procedures are in place to effectively deal with emergency situations at all venues
• Each camp is reviewed weekly to streamline procedures ensuring best practice through program efficiency, effectiveness and safety
• Mobile Phones and First Aid Kits are carried with TEEC teacher for all off-site activities
• Visiting school teachers are required to carry relevant individual student medication for off-site activities
• TEEC Teachers ensure all adult supervisors are aware of all relevant responsibilities and curriculum activity risk management strategies
• Daily program flexibility to modify activities, relocate or seek activity alternatives
• The TEEC complies with the Department of Education’s ‘Sun Smart Policy’
