The Office of Sport strives to establish a positive and encouraging environment where participants feel safe and a valued part of the camp community.
To help us create a respectful and inclusive environment for all participants we ask that parents discuss camp behaviours and values with their child before camp.
The following information outlines our camp behaviour code and values. By attending the camp, we expect all participants to understand and agree to this.
To ensure an enjoyable experience, campers are expected to:
- Show respect to other campers, staff and property
- Act and work cooperatively with other campers and staff
- Communicate and behave courteously
- Value the interests, ability and culture of others.
- Negotiate and resolve conflict respectfully and calmly
- Be aware of and take responsibility for how their behaviour and actions impact others.
- Care for self and others.
- Be safe and help others to make safe choices that do not hurt themselves or others.
- Not bring weapons, illegal drugs, alcohol, vapes, e-cigarettes or tobacco into our camps
- Not be violent
- Use digital devices and online services in a safe, responsible and respectful manner.
Misbehaviour will be managed by Office of Sport staff. Approaches may include:
- Staff redirection of behaviour
- Guidance and discussion of appropriate expectations with your child
- The matter being referred to the participant’s group organiser/school
- Adjusting of accommodation or activity groups
- Discussion with parents/guardians by phone
- Exclusion from activities
- Removal of your child from camp
