Well-planned and properly supervised field trips provide educational and cultural value for students. For the purpose of this policy and the accompanying regulations, a field trip is any supervised teacher or school sponsored activity where students leave the school premises for part of a day, a day, or multiple days.
Field trips should be selected, planned, organized, and conducted in the context of clear educational benefits and student safety.
International student trips require approval in principle from the Board, as set out in regulations. Final approval, or a decision to cancel a planned trip, rests with the Superintendent.
