1. Acknowledgement of Parental Duty of Care
The College acknowledges that students in Years 10, 11 and 12 may undertake self-initiated work experience placements during school holiday or exam break periods or outside of regular school hours.
For the duration of such placements, the parent(s)/guardian(s) assume full Duty of Care for their child.
This means that parents/guardians are responsible for:
Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of their child during all parts of the placement, including travel to and from the host workplace.
Confirming that the host employer provides a safe and suitable environment in accordance with the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (WA).
Ensuring the student’s participation is voluntary, unpaid, and aligns with the student’s interests, abilities, and future learning goals.
Providing consent for the student to attend the workplace and take part in related activities.
2. School Role and Responsibility
The College supports students in finding meaningful opportunities but does not hold Duty of Care for students during self-initiated work experience placements conducted off-site and outside school-supervised hours.
The College will not be liable for any incidents, injuries, or matters arising during the placement period.
