On May 26, the Near North District School Board showcased its outdoor school trip preparedness (STP) administrative guidelines, partnering with Nipissing University, during a Ministry of Education webinar on outdoor education for teachers.
An STP guideline is a comprehensive, visual “infomercial” for parents, administration and the community meant to inform on all aspects of a school trip. It includes links to the curricula, OPHEA guidelines, a transportation plan, maps and map links, mustering areas, risk identification and safety measures. For more, see the links below:
