During our summer and winter violin camps, we will bring the children down to the local park for their recess and lunchtimes.

At the park, there is play equipment there including swings, slides and climbing equipment which could potentially cause some physical injury.

Staff will be supervising the children at all times and measures will be put into place to ensure that children are playing safely with each other.

Distance from expert medical care:

HEMAC is 40 metres from Ellison String Studio, Royal Children’s Hospital is 14 kilometres from the studio (approximately a 23-25 minute drive) and Monash Children’s Hospital is 13 kilometres from the studio (approximately a 20-23 minute drive).

Student behaviour

‘I understand that in the event of my child’s misbehaviour or behaviour that poses a danger to himself/herself or others during the excursion, he/she may be sent home. I further understand that in such circumstances I will be informed and that any costs associated with his/her return will be my responsibility.’

Student illness

‘I understand that in the event excursion staff determine it is necessary for my child to be sent home early due to illness, any cost associated with his/her return will be my responsibility.’

Cancellations or Alterations

‘I understand that the director may need to cancel or alter excursion arrangements at short notice, for safety reasons or due to circumstances beyond the control of the school, and while the director will try to minimise inconvenience or financial losses to parents, these may be unavoidable.’

Student accident insurance and ambulance cover

The ‘Ellison String Studio’ school does not provide student accident insurance or ambulance cover. Parents may wish to obtain student accident insurance from a commercial insurer and/or ambulance cover, depending on their health insurance arrangements and any other personal considerations.
