Schools and teachers are reminded that many applications are received each year for camps at 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
- geographically isolated schools
- schools that applied and missed out the previous year
- teachers that are seeking a genuine educational experience for their students with a balance of outdoor and environmental learning objectives.
Confirmation of a booking
Booking policy 2025
TEEC is classed as 'another government agency' under the State Purchasing Policy.
Once your 'Camp Confirmation Letter' is received, your school will be invoiced for a confirmation deposit of $20 per booked student. Please inform TEEC of any significant changes to your original camp numbers, no later than 8 school weeks prior to camp commencement.
Cancellation after the return of the 'Camp Confirmation Letter' has been returned may result in TEEC retaining your deposit. Cancellation within 10 weeks of your confirmed dates will incur a cancellation fee of 100% of the deposit.
Prepare all staff and students for an active, outdoor, educational program. It is essential that schools work with their Tinaroo EEC coordinator to prepare the school community for the demands of the program, and provide timely advice to allow for adjustments in program that are responsive to the nature of the school community.
Distribution of information Schools must use and distribute all Tinaroo EEC information to students, parents and teachers. This information allows students, parents / guardians and teachers to make a considered decision regarding their participation in a Tinaroo EEC program. The school must use our planning process and student management tool as outlined on the camp planning page of the Tinaroo EEC website.
Final attendance numbers are required 2 weeks or 10 school days prior to camp. Schools will be charged the full camp fee for all students, unless late arrivals or early departures are advised 10 school days prior to camp. An administration fee of $250 will be charged to schools who do not submit final student numbers, medical and dietary information on time.
This final number of students and adults will be used to calculate your school's invoice. After your final numbers are confirmed, schools will be responsible for covering the cost of decreased numbers ie. late withdrawals, and absences due to illness or exclusion. The invoice will also include the full charges for any students that go home early, for any reason.
If you bring 90% of your booked numbers TEEC will credit the full deposit against the final school invoice. If you bring less than 90% of your booked numbers TEEC will retain the full deposit for non-attendees. (eg: 100 booked – 88 attend = only 88 deposits are credited).
Damage caused by inappropriate behaviour or not adhering to the centres rules and procedures will incur a cost for repair or replacement. A surcharge of $250 will be incurred if the facilities are left in an untidy state to cover additional costs incurred by the centre associated with the clean-up.
- Booking deposits and program fees will be direct debited (swept) from the school bank account – State Schools/State High Schools only.
