Just a reminder that it is ACT policy that no dogs are to be brought onto school grounds with the exception of service dogs.

Under the Domestic Animals Act 2000, domestic animals may not be taken on to school grounds, (or fields or playing areas where training or sport is being conducted), without permission of the principal.

Assistance Animal
The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) (DDA) in Section 9, sets out the legal definition of an assistance animal as a dog or other animal that:
(a) is accredited under a State or Territory law to assist a person with a disability to alleviate the effects of disability; or
(b) is accredited by an animal training organisation prescribed in the regulations; or
(c) is trained to assist a person with a disability to alleviate the effect of the disability and meets standards of hygiene and behaviour that are appropriate for an animal in a public place.
