What are Excursion Types?

Modified on Tue, 23 Sep, 2025 at 7:51 PM

Excursion Types aren't just a way to categorise an Excursion - they play an important role in how excursions are managed:

  • All risks are linked to excursion types, and this determines which risks flow through into the Risk Assessment tab.
  • The questions staff complete during the excursion submission process are driven by the selected excursion type.
  • Staff-to-student ratios can be set and enforced by excursion type.


Paperly comes preloaded with a set of standard excursion types:

  • Co-curricular

  • Event

  • Excursion

  • Incursion

  • Interstate Excursion

  • Overseas Excursion

All excursion types can be edited or deleted, and you can also add your own to match your school’s needs.
