Students participating in these sporting activities take part in practice and in competitions. AHIGS and its members’ schools 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. AHIGS and its members’ schools also expect parents, spectators and other participants to behave in a safe and responsible manner, to comply with the IGSSA Code of Conduct and to set a good example for the girls. While AHIGS and its members’ schools take measures to make the Cross Country Carnival 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.
