School camps in Victoria are on the decline due to escalating costs and the introduction of new provisions. Since 2023, teachers are now required to receive time-in-lieu for any work conducted outside of regular hours, making it increasingly challenging for schools to finance these camps.

One thought on “School camps in decline in Victoria due to rising costs and teachers’ time-in-lieu”

  1. It’s unfortunate to hear that school camps in Victoria are facing challenges due to rising costs and the new regulations regarding time-in-lieu for educators. School camps are valuable experiences that foster teamwork, resilience, and personal growth for students. It’s essential to find a balance that supports both educators and students.

    Perhaps schools could explore alternative funding options, such as partnerships with local businesses or community organizations, or consider creative fundraising initiatives to help cover costs. Additionally, engaging parents and guardians in discussions about the importance of these experiences might lead to community support in preserving school camps. Ultimately, it’s crucial that we advocate for solutions that allow students to participate in these enriching opportunities without overburdening teachers.
