Curriculum Activity Risk Assessments (CARAs)

Because the activities associated with Amaroo's Eco Art program are rated at a low or medium inherent risk level, specific curriculum risk assessment documents for this program are not required. The risk assessment documents below have, however, been prepared by Amaroo staff if you would like to use them. They are partially completed (using the program and site knowledge of Amaroo staff), but relevant details concerning your school/visit should be added once you have downloaded them. Each CARA should be approved by your school principal and filed for your records.
