PEEC Curriculum Risk Management Policy
Pullenvale Environmental Education Centre (PEEC) is committed to the health, safety and wellbeing of our staff and our visiting students and adults involved in curriculum activities both at PEEC and at off site locations. All programs at Pullenvale Environmental Education Centre are shaped around a spirit of adventure and fun. Taking controlled, informed risks is part of this experience, just as it is part of everyday life.
A Curriculum Activity Risk Assessment Planner has been completed for every program delivered at PEEC. Curriculum Activity Risk Assessments (including our management strategy for COVID-19) have been completed for all curriculum activities deemed to be of a Medium risk level. PEEC currently does not deliver any curriculum activities deemed a high or extreme level risk.
All curriculum activities at PEEC have been thoroughly planned to ensure that staff and visiting students and adults will be safe whilst undertaking the activity. Each program features a safety talk specific to that program and activity. Any potential risks have been identified and managed and there is a planned response in case of an emergency. In the event of adverse climatic conditions, programs will either be adapted accordingly or postponed (where possible). The visiting teacher will
be notified of program postponement on the morning of the excursion.
All teachers at PEEC are experienced in supervising visiting students and adults across the range of activities, and we provide and hold current senior first aid certificates. When taking visitors away from the Centre grounds, all PEEC teachers will carry with them: a First Aid Kit; a class list containing details of any relevant important information; and a mobile phone.
Curriculum Activity Risk Assessment Planners and Curriculum Activity Risk Assessments particular to the program you are attending are contained within the documents library on this website. The information contained within these documents will assist you to complete Department of Education and Training Policy and Procedure Register, One School Excursion Planner (domestic travel) template or the paper-based Variations to School Routines to make your visit to Pullenvale Environmental Education Centre as safe and enjoyable as possible.
