Field-Trip and Outdoor Training Consent Form

This form should be completed to obtain permission for students to participate in field-trips and outdoor training sessions organized by Uchenna Academy.

Your child may be involved in a variety of activities, which involve students leaving the school grounds on foot. Some examples of activities that involve a field-trips in support of the curriculum and training could include:

  • Jogging/running in the neighbourhood or for PE on a designated route
  • Outdoor training sessions along nearby tracks.
  • Walking to a nearby park.
  • Pitch-in or annual neighbourhood litter clean-up.
  • Outings to look for signs of spring or other seasonal changes.
  • Walks to study environmental print and shapes in the neighbourhood – e.g., street signs.
  • Other local sites of interest in the proximity of the school.

There will be sufficient adult supervision for every field trip. For all of these activities, proper footwear and clothing are needed and following the instructions of the adult supervisor(s) would be expected behaviour. Our school’s Code of Conduct applies on all field trips. We will make every reasonable effort to give parents/guardians advance notice for field trips.

Rather than send home a permission form for each local field trip, we are asking for your standing consent for your child to participate on these trips. This standing consent form will cover field trips that are no further than 3 km from the school for students attending Uchenna Academy. Field trips outside of these established perimeters will require additional communication and consent. This consent will be considered valid from the date it is signed and will remain valid for the duration of your child’s enrollment at the school, unless consent is withdrawn in writing to the child’s school principal by the parent/guardian.

By allowing your child to participate in field trips similar to those described above, you are accepting the risk of any accident, if one should occur. Your signature on the following page indicates that you support your child in participating in field trips.

The application form will take about 5 minutes to complete.

Uchenna Academy requires explicit permission from parents allowing their students to drive other students, and to be driven by our coaches and other students, for school-related activities including athletic events. A parent's decision to choose to not have their child to drive or be driven by our coaches and/or other students will not impact their child status on a sports team in any way. However, many times it is helpful to have coaches and senior students assist with driving, and we would appreciate you filling in this form.

This consent will be considered valid from the date it is signed and will remain valid for the duration of your child’s enrollment at the school, unless consent is withdrawn in writing to the child’s school principal by the parent/guardian.
