As with all school excursions, the duty of care and responsibility for supervision and behaviour management of students travelling to, during and travelling back to school from a Dandenong Tech School excursion rests with the accompanying staff members from your school. On the day of the program, the visiting teacher will also be asked to sign the document.
We also ask that you inform parents/carers and students about the Dandenong Tech School learning program content in accordance with the information provided on this web page and accompanying resources.
We ask that the number of supervising staff from your school meet the Department of Education and Training Supervision requirements for day excursions of 1 to 20 staff-student ratio with a minimum of 2 staff.
All programs and equipment have been thoroughly assessed for any risks or hazards posed to students and staff during operation.

Travel by bus is paid for entirely by Dandenong Tech School.
Buses will arrive at approximately 09:30am and depart at 02:30pm.
Should a teacher or student need to travel to the Tech School by public transport, the public bus stop sits at the corner of the Tech School grounds on Stud Rd.
The Tech School is a single-level building, with no need for ramps to enter or exit the building. Our Digital Lab has been outfitted with electric, height-adjustable desks for easy adjustments. There are also multiple ambulant toilets available throughout the building, as well as a wheelchair accessible toilet.
Students should bring their own snacks and food for breaks and lunch times. Where there is appropriate staffing from a school, and where the teachers are happy to accompany students, there is an on-site canteen available a short walk from the Tech School at the back of Building A on campus.
There are dedicated toilet facilities for students and staff available in the Tech School. As a gender-inclusive space, our toilets are gender-neutral with the option of gender signs to be added if preferred by a school.
Wudu facilities are also available for any students wishing to make use of our prayer room while on site.
