At Curtin Sport & Recreation, we recognize that new faces and environments can lead to unwarranted behaviour. Our goal, in accordance with our Carnaby Kids values is to create a welcoming, engaging and safe environment for all children, free from negative behaviour. If a child displays excessively unruly physical or verbal behaviour toward coaches or other children, their parent/guardian will be called to collect them, however – this is a last resort.
In the event that your child requires any type of emergency medication (i.e., EpiPen) please notify our staff prior. In accordance with H&S concerns, we cannot take responsibility for administering medications at regular intervals. If your child requires any other medication during the program, please contact us at prior to registering. Please contact us directly to discuss how your child can still participate.
Please contact us at (08) 92667052 if your child is unable to attend on registered dates. We are able to provide a refund on the basis that a medical certificate is provided, alternatively – we are able to credit your booking.
