Yes, each school must provide at least one supervising staff member. We strongly encourage that groups are accompanied by a teacher with a nationally recognised teaching accreditation. However, we understand that the WEHI DeadlyScience Pathways Program is also an invaluable opportunity for Indigenous Education Workers (IEW) (i.e., School Officers) to learn about First Nations science pathways and to connect on deeper levels with their students, and therefore we also encourage the participation of an IEW. WEHI will support the travel and accommodation costs for all accompanying staff members.
Students must be accompanied by their teacher or staff member/s for the duration of the program, including outside program hours.
