Year 4 Camp

Countdown to CAMP –

One week to go!

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

There are not many sleeps left until we leave for camp on Thursday 20^th November.

Just a few reminders to ensure we all have a successful trip.

1.     All safety forms should have been returned by now.  Please make sure they are returned to school TOMORROW. This is very important.

2.     There are few payments still to be made by a few families.  Please ensure  this is done ASAP.

3.        Children are to assemble in the hall by 8.30am on Thursday 20^th November.

4.        If your child requires a booster seat, please make sure you leave it with your child’s luggage on Thursday morning, or better still, hand it over to the parent transporting your child to camp.

5.        There will be labelled boxes placed in the hall to drop off your baking.

6.        Please put any medication into a plastic bag with your child’s name clearly marked on the outside with the dosage instructions.  Medication needs to be handed DIRECTLY to Anna (Mrs Crawford) on Thursday morning.  You will then be asked to fill and sign the medication form

7.        It is very important that you pack a substantial lunch and drink for your child on Thursday.  They will be very hungry after our long walk.

8.        Helpful hint:  please ensure your child’s shoes for day one are comfortable and toe nails are trimmed.  We do go on a long hike and we want the children to be as comfortable as possible, without worrying about blisters and sore toes.

9.        Children must remember their hat and bottle of sun-block.  Sun-block needs to be applied before they come to school on Thursday.  If possible, can hats please be bought and left at school on Wednesday, so we can guarantee the children have them.  Our sun safe policy states children MUST have suitable hats to participate in outdoor activities.

10.     The clothes the children wear to school are the clothes they will be hiking in.

11.      Their back-pack for hiking should be packed ready for the hike.

12.   We aim to be back at school between 2.15 and 2.30pm on Friday.  If you are a parent who is meeting us at camp to transport children back, can you please be at the camp by 1.00pm. 

13.     In case of an emergency, the teachers can be contacted by notifying the Camp Office on (07) 8298665.

Any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you for your support.
