Trip Agreements
UNIS values are at the heart of our trip agreements. Whether students are on campus or representing UNIS in our community, we use the UNIS values to guide our words, thoughts and actions. Below is more information regarding our values and how they align to our trip agreements
Participants in school-sponsored trips/projects are representatives of the school at all times. As a result, all expectations for in-school behavior which can be logically applied will be in effect. Possession, purchase and/or drinking of alcoholic beverages and purchase, possession and/or use of drugs, other than those for medicinal purposes previously reported to the nurse, are strictly prohibited. Smoking/Vaping is not permitted on trips. Students who are addicted to nicotine must discuss this with a counsellor before departure.
The purpose of the trip is to build community and connection. Connection is human to human. We encourage you to make new connections with your peers and mentors and leave your devices aside.
