While MLC School takes measures to make the Activities as safe as reasonably possible for participants, there is a\u00a0risk\u00a0that students can be injured and suffer loss (including financial loss) and damage as a result of their participation in these Activities.\u00a0<\/span>Such injury can occur while the student is engaging in an Activity or travelling to or from it. The injury may result from a student\u2019s actions, the actions of others, the state of the premises or equipment failure.<\/p>\n

On some occasions, an injury can be serious. In very rare cases an injury can be life threatening or result in permanent disability.<\/p>\n

Students could also suffer loss as a result of their personal property being lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed.<\/p>\n

By submitting this Consent in respect of the specific Activity, you\u00a0ACKNOWLEDGE that:<\/p>\n

\u2013 you have read and understood this Risk\u00a0Warning\u00a0and you consent to the student participating in it; and

Risk Warnings<\/h2>\n

Risk Warning under Section 5M of the Civil Liability Act 2002 Issued on behalf of MLC School and IGSA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Non-Sporting Activities 2025<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

MLC School organises many activities such as debating, mock trial, orchestra, choir, camps, curricular excursions, and performances during the course of a year. Some of these are organised in conjunction with the Association of Heads of Independent Girls\u2019 Schools NSW (AHIGS), trading as IGSA. Students participating in these activities take part in practice and in competitions.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

IGSA administers and convenes inter-school activities (such as IGSA Archdale Debating, IGSA Festival of Speech, IGSA Choral Festival, IGSA Dance Festival and IGSA Chess and the Dame Enid Lyons Oratory Competition) in which many students, including students of this school, participate.<\/p>\n

MLC School and IGSA also expect parents, spectators and other participants to behave in a safe and responsible manner, to comply with the Codes of Conduct and to set a good example for the girls.<\/p>\n

While MLC School and IGSA take measures to make the activities as safe as reasonably possible for participants, there is a risk that students can be injured and suffer loss (including financial loss) and damage as a result of their participation in these activities, whether at practice or in actual events.<\/p>\n

Such injury can occur while the student is engaging in or watching a non-sporting activity, or travelling to and from the event. The injury may result from a student\u2019s actions, the actions of others, the state of the premises or equipment failure (e.g. a collapsed stage during a debating competition).<\/p>\n

On some occasions, an injury can be serious (such as torn ligaments, dislocations, back injuries, concussion or broken bones). In very rare cases an injury can be life threatening or result in permanent disability.<\/p>\n

Students could also suffer loss as a result of their personal property being lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sporting Activities 2025<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

MLC School organises many individual and team sporting activities during the course of a year. Some of these are organised in conjunction with IGSA Sport, a sub- committee of the Association of Heads of Independent Girls\u2019 Schools NSW (AHIGS), now trading as IGSA. Students participating in these sporting activities take part in practice and in competitions.<\/p>\n

MLC School and IGSA Sport expect students to take responsibility for their own safety by wearing compulsory safety equipment, by thinking carefully about the use of safety equipment that is highly recommended and by behaving in a safe and responsible manner towards team members, opponents, spectators, officials, property and grounds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

MLC School and IGSA Sport also expect parents, spectators and other participants to behave in a safe and responsible manner, to comply with the Codes of Conduct and to set a good example for the girls.<\/p>\n

While MLC School and IGSA Sport take measures to make the sporting activities as safe as reasonably possible for participants, there is a risk that students can be injured and suffer loss (including financial loss) and damage as a result of their participation in these sporting activities, whether at training or in actual events.<\/p>\n

Such injury can occur while the student is engaging in or watching a sporting activity, or travelling to and from the event. The injury may result from a student\u2019s actions, the actions of others, the state of the premises or equipment failure.<\/p>\n

On some occasions, an injury can be serious (such as torn ligaments, dislocations, back injuries, concussion or broken bones). In very rare cases an injury can be life threatening or result in permanent disability. If a student has a pre-existing injury, participating in a sporting activity could result in an exacerbation of that injury.<\/p>\n

Students could also suffer loss as a result of their personal property being lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed.<\/p>\n
