No, the school is not responsible for the health and safety of students while they are at the Ice Arena. Attendance at the venue is considered a personal decision, and it is the responsibility of parents or guardians to determine whether skating is appropriate for their child. Students participate in the activity as any other paying customer would, and the Ice Arena operates under its own safety protocols for all visitors.
