Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Our Year 6 Outdoor Education Week and Macetown Camp is happening in week 4 next year so we need to be on the ball straight away at the start of the year. To help things along I am sending out a Parental Consent form and Health form with this letter. Parents may wish to also think about volunteering for helping with different activities. See form below.

Tuesday 28th Feb Activities at Lake Hayes and Frankton	Macetown activities………………… Tubing, Orienteering, Flying Fox, Tyrolean Traverse, Slug Guns, Bouldering Camp Concert at night.

Friday 2nd March Pack down walk out

If you are able to assist us with the camp in any way please indicate on the attached form and send back to school with your child. Your support is greatly appreciated by both the staff and children.

Please find attached the following forms and return to school by the end of the school year.

· Parental Consent

· Health Profile

· Parent Volunteer form

The timetable for the programme will look something like this:

Cost

We hope to keep the cost to under $150 next year but will let you know the final cost when we receive all the quotes. The money needs to be paid before the camp please.

Fundraising

The children are selling chocolates to fundraise over the holidays so this should help keep the costs down. I will let you know the final cost early next year. The money covers instructor’s fees, food, and activities e.g sailing, as well as equipment costs. Please send the money raised through the chocolate selling as a cheque and clearly labelled who it’s from. They will get the chocolates next week.

We will be having a Camp meeting early in the year to go over all the details. We will let you know the date for this next year.

We look forward to meeting you all there and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you

Paul Winders

Sports Co-ordinator
