To ensure that the program is as effective as possible, the school based coordinator/supervisor has to ensure the following conditions apply:
At no time should the dance tutor be left unsupervised whilst working with children.
The supervising teacher is to assist in the program by being as proactive as possible during the lessons helping to organise the students and to assist with managing them.
The supervising teacher is responsible for sending out the Expressions of Interest (EOI) to the school’s students and families.
Ensure all permission notes and tutors’ Working With Children Check (WWCC) details are kept on file at the school.
The supervising teacher is also responsible for following the timetable and liaising with the steering committee and school in relation to meetings etc.
Students are to be dressed in compliance with dress regulations for the Gala.
On the night of the Gala Performance, all teachers are to be as supportive as possible to ensure that the night is a success for all students. It’s all about student wellbeing!
Allergies: Please ensure you follow students’ health care plans to manage any allergies/medical conditions. While there is an EpiPen on site, it is recommended that if an EpiPen is included in a student’s health care plan, that you bring it with you for easy accessibility.
Behaviour: We appreciate your support in managing the behaviour of students at your school while at the venue, including in the stands, transitions, and bathrooms. We acknowledge the need for schools to bring an increasing number of staff to manage students at the gala event. For this reason, we will be distributing 4 wristbands per school, instead of the 2 we previously gave out.
DanceSport Confidence Responsibilities
To provide qualified dance tutors, to supply music and contact information to each school, and where possible to minimise disruptions to the program;
To ensure that all tutors have the same instructions;
To provide the dance tutors with a schedule that outlines benchmarks that are universal to each school (e.g: weeks 1- 5 teach all four dances to the group, by no later than Term 2 Week 10; select finalists and all partners etc.) and
To liaise effectively with the committee and the schools to ensure equity is achieved.
Working With Children Checklist (WWCC)
The Dance School will ensure that all tutors have the correct Working with Children Checkl and give the school a copy.
School must file the copy for school records.
At NO time should a dance tutor be left unsupervised with the dance group - this is the school’s responsibility.
