Field Trip Procedures

Field Trip Procedures.pdf​

The Sunrise Vision Framework indicates that 'learning takes place in and out of the classroom'.  Accordingly, the division believes that off site excursions - field trips - can be a valuable learning experience for all our learners.

It is expected that the YouthSaftey Manitoba:  School Field Trip Resource (2004) (binder or CD) be used as a guide for all field trips taken with Sunrise students.

If you require more information, please contact Paul Barnard, Assistant Superintendent: People Services at 268-6538 or Jennifer Baker, Executive Assistant at 268-6530.

Volunteer forms only need to be submitted if there is an adult assisting on the trip that does not have a child in the class. Volunteer Driver forms need to be completed by ANYONE using their private for vehicle during a trip, regardless if they are transporting students or not. The division assumes the trip does not warrant these documents if they have not been completed.

 

 

 
 

 Extended Care Field Trips

 
​
Extended Care Field Trips consist of at least one overnight stay. They may occur locally, provincially, nationally or internationally.  Given the fact they extend overnight, they require higher care. 
 
Extended trips (locally, provincially, nationally) must be approved by the superintendent or designate prior to the trip taking place.
 
Extended trips (internationally) must be approved by the Board of Trustees prior to the trip taking place.
  • International Travel - 5 months prior notice required
  • Canadian Travel Outside Manitoba - 3 months notice prior notice required
  • Oernight Trip within Manitoba - 6 weeks prior notice required

 Sports Events (Fall under either Higher Care or Extended Care Field Trips)

 

​

Please note that transportation for all school team sports events may not be organized through the school, and it is the responsiblity of parents/guardians to make these arrangements. A Parent Permission form for Annual Sporting Events.doc may be signed but must be accompanied with the season schedule for all sporting events that the child may be participating in. 

 

 
 

 Superintendent Conditional Approval

 

 

​For situations when not all details of the trip are known, but the school needs Superintendent approval to register for an event or trip, a school can request "Superintendent Conditional Approval". By providing the following details, the teacher and principal are agreeing to provide all relevant field trip forms 2 weeks prior of the trip taking place. Schools can then proceed with booking and prep work.
