F EBRUARY 1 BREAKOUT ROOM In the year 2085, the Earth became increasingly uninhabitable due to global warming; natural disasters reached catastrophic levels. Man-kinds turned to space to escape from its decaying cradle. First major settlements began on the Moon, but they soon reached their maximum capacities. A series of space colonies were built to progressively reach outward into space. After decades long of segregations between the colonists, tension runs high between different factions. Soon mistrust turns into fear, and anger manifests into violence. Acts of sabotage occurs on multiple colonies. A terrorist group has infiltrated the space station "The Ark" and incapacitated the station's energy generator in an attempt to destroy the entire colony. More than 100,000 souls on board the colony are at jeopardy. It is up to you to restore the generator and save everyone.

S TUDENT S UPERVISION S TANDARDS AND P ARENT P ARTICIPATION

All field trips and events hosted by The Centre for Learning@HOME require supervision to ensure acceptable levels of behavior and safety. The Centre for Learning@HOME will have at least one school staff member on site at every event we host. Staff, and when necessary, parent volunteers (who have provided police issued security clearance documents), will attend events to meet the necessary supervision ratios set out by Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools and as listed below. The CFL welcomes parents to participate in activities and events whenever possible. Some events require a parent supervise every participant; other events/venues restrict parent participation. The role of the parent is included in each event description. Please see below for an explanation of the rational.

1. P ARENT P ARTICIPATION IS M ANDATORY In this scenario, the students will require one on one assistance to complete the task or the venue has asked us to have a parent with each child. A CFL staff member will be there to assist the event leader, check in students and parents, and obtain the activity waiver forms. 2. P ARENT P ARTICIPATION IS V OLUNTARY In this scenario, the parents are welcome to stay and participate, or release their student(s) to the care of The CFL staff and approved volunteers. The ratio of adults to students is in accordance with Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools’ policy (below). If the parent elects to drop their student(s) off, they must deliver the student(s) to the school staff member at the event to check them in and sign the activity waiver. At the end of the event, the parent must collect the student(s) from the school staff member at the specified time and ensure the staff member knows the parent has arrived to pick up the student(s). Please do not drop your student off at the door or plan to pick them up outside. 3. P ARENT P ARTICIPATION IS R ESTRICTED OR N OT A LLOWED In this scenario, the host venue has asked that parents not participate either due to the nature of the event (i.e. swim lessons) or because of limited space. The Centre for Learning@HOME will provide supervision according to the supervision standard set by Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools. Parents may be able to watch from the sidelines (like in swim lessons) or drop the student(s) off and pick them up at the end of the program. When dropping off your student(s), please deliver the student(s) to the school staff member at the event to check them in and sign the activity waiver. At the end of the event, the parent must collect the student(s) from the school staff member at the specified time and ensure the staff member knows you have arrived to pick up the student(s). Please do not drop your student off at the door or plan to pick them up outside. If arrangements are made for someone other than the parent/guardian to pick up a student, please notify The CFL staff member, in writing, prior to the start of the event.

Please note, some activities replicate a classroom setting (example: teacher led co-curricular classes) and in such situations, the Field Trip Supervision Ratios will not apply. Ratios similar to a traditional classroom will apply. If you have any questions or concerns regarding supervision, please contact The Centre for Learning@HOME Program Enhancement Coordinator for your area.
