Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Pohutukawa Syndicate Outing: Monday 22 February

Next Monday we have organised a fun outing for all Year 5 and 6 children.  This is an Outdoor Education Activity day visiting Leap Hamilton and Waterworld Te Rapa, the purpose of which is to build positive relationships between teachers and students across the Syndicate.

We will depart Woodstock School at 9:30am to arrive at Leap by 9:45am.  Students will participate in a variety of activities before departing for Waterworld at 12 noon.  Finally, after lunch and swimming activities, we will depart Waterworld at 2pm and arrive back at Woodstock School by 2:30pm.

The total cost per student, which includes entry to both facilities and bus hire, is:

                                                       $22.50  (no hydroslide at Waterworld)

                                                       $25.50 (with hydroslide at Waterworld)

Your child will need to bring:

·         a packed lunch, snacks and a full water bottle

·         togs and towel

·         sun hat, sun screen

·         jandals or sandals

·         Optional: money to purchase food and drink at Waterworld’s café (students need to be responsible for this)

Please ensure all personal items are named.

Please complete the permission slip below and return it, along with your payment, to the School Office by Friday 19 February.  If you need to make payment arrangements for this trip, please contact the School Office as soon as possible, phone 8556686

As recently notified in the Syndicate newsletter, this team building day replaces our annual one night camp.  Due to increasing costs, we are returning to the way the Senior School Camp was previously organised, which was once every two years.  This means that students will now attend either as a Year 5 or Year 6 student, and the duration will be extended from one night to three.  Our review of camp arrangements is also in line with local Intermediates’ changes to their camp bookings and this aligns with the Health and PE curriculum document.

Yours sincerely,

Pohutukawa Syndicate teaching team
