2. Booking terms

​

2.1 All bookings

• A booking is confirmed when you receive our confirmation email or invoice.

• Prices are in Australian dollars and include GST unless stated otherwise.

• We may update prices for future bookings. The price confirmed at the time you book is the price you pay.

​

Payment. Payment is due when you book, unless we’ve agreed a payment plan with you. We accept card, PayPal and Afterpay.

If you need to cancel:

• 7 or more days before the session: we’ll give you a credit for a future program.

• Less than 7 days before: we can’t offer a refund or credit, but you’re welcome to transfer the place to another child. Just let us know their name.

• Change of mind, forgotten sessions, clashes and transport: these aren’t eligible for a refund or credit once the session has run. Families are responsible for getting children to and from sessions.

 

If your child is unwell. If your child can’t attend because of illness, provide a medical certificate and you can choose either a full credit or a 50% refund.

​

Missed tutoring or club sessions. We’ll issue a make-up class pass to use during the same term or the next.

If we cancel. We may cancel a program if enrolments are too low, or for reasons outside our control such as severe weather or venue closure. If we cancel, you’ll receive a full refund or, if you prefer, a credit.

​

Refund processing. Refunds are paid to the original payment method within 10 business days of approval.

​

2.3 Incursions for schools, kindergartens and OSHC services

​

Quotes and confirmation. Each incursion is confirmed by a written quote or booking confirmation. It sets out the date, times, program, student numbers and price.

Student numbers. Pricing is per student, with a minimum charge of 15 students at $20 per session. Please confirm final numbers at least [5] business days before the incursion.

Invoicing. We invoice [after the incursion / on confirmation]. Payment terms are [14] days from the invoice date.

Rescheduling and cancellation by you:

• 10 or more business days’ notice: no charge. We’ll happily reschedule.

What we ask the venue to provide:

• a suitable room with tables and access to power

4. Child safety policy

4.1 Our commitment. The safety and wellbeing of every child in our programs comes first. We’re committed to providing a safe, inclusive and respectful environment where children are heard and their concerns are taken seriously. We apply Queensland’s Child Safe Standards and the Universal Principle for the cultural safety of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children (Child Safe Organisations Act 2024 (Qld)). We also meet Blue Card requirements under the Working with Children (Risk Management and Screening) Act 2000 (Qld).

 

4.2 Where this policy applies. It covers all our activities, including:

• school, kindergarten and OSHC incursions

• holiday programs and workshops

• after-school and weekend clubs

• tutoring

• parties

• community events

• online classes

 

4.3 How we keep children safe:

• Screening: every adult who works or volunteers with us holds a current Queensland Blue Card. No one starts work without one, and we keep a register of card numbers and expiry dates.

• Code of conduct: our staff act professionally and respectfully at all times, and always put children’s safety first.

• Training: staff are trained in child protection, recognising signs of harm, and responding to and reporting concerns.

• Supervision:

  • Staff-to-child ratios follow Queensland best-practice guidelines.

  • Activities run in open spaces with clear lines of sight.

  • No adult is ever alone with a child out of view of others.

• Online safety: online classes run on supervised platforms. Staff don’t contact children privately through personal accounts or messaging apps.

• Inclusion: we welcome children of all backgrounds and abilities, and we make reasonable adjustments for diverse needs.

• Risk assessments: we carry out a documented risk assessment for every program, covering supervision, materials, environment and individual needs.

 

4.4 Parents and visitors at sessions. To protect all children, parents and guardians don’t usually stay in sessions, even if they hold a Blue Card. Our Child Safety Officer may approve an exception for a child’s specific needs. Anyone given access must follow our supervision and conduct rules and must not use a mobile phone in the session.

 

4.5 Photography and media:

• We never take or publish photos or videos that show children’s faces.

• Images we use only show hands, projects and activities.

• We ask for written consent from a parent or guardian before using any image, even when no face is visible.

 

4.6 Raising a concern. Anyone, including children, parents, teachers and staff, can raise a concern about a child’s safety or the behaviour of someone working with us. Contact our Child Safety Officer:

• Email: contact@steampowerededucation.com.au

• Phone: 0438 769 928

We’ll treat every concern seriously and confidentially, act promptly, and report to the relevant authorities as the law requires. If a child is in immediate danger, call 000.

 

4.7 Breaches of this policy. We investigate allegations and breaches promptly. A breach may result in disciplinary action, ending a person’s work with us, and reporting to the authorities.

 

4.8 Review. We review this policy at least once a year, and whenever the law changes.

​

5. Experiments and activities disclaimer

Experiment ideas and activities on our website, in our blog and in our online courses are shared as a resource for teachers, parents and students.

• An adult should supervise children at all times when trying them at home or in class.

• Some activities include small parts and aren’t suitable for children under 5.

• Please check materials for allergies before starting.

To the extent the law allows, we aren’t responsible for injury or damage arising from activities done without our staff present.
