Final Reminder Notice

Hi all,

The forecast is not looking good for Wednesday. The rain is supposed to clear in the afternoon so we may hold them at school until it does. If it doesn’t we may have to stay in the school hall the night (we did this 3 years ago) and trek in on Thursday. We will try our best to keep to schedules but will put children’s safety first in all decision making. We will make a decision on Wednesday morning so come to school prepared to go. Any decisions to delay the start we will post on the school website and sports blog. Please check children’s jackets are waterproof as most activities can be still carried out with light rain or showers.

A few final reminders…………………….

· Make sure you check your equipment lists and that clothing and utensils are named

· Kids who offered to let the group use their bikes bring to the hall on Tuesday morning to put on trailer. Parents who want o help mountain biking on Tuesday to bring their own

Year 6 Outdoor Education and Macetown Camp Week

27^th -2^nd March 2012

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.

Monday 27th Feb Activities at Lake Hayes and Frankton	Frankton and Lake Hayes activities….. Abseiling, sailing, kayaking, Mountain Biking, Archery, Bush First Aid, Water Safety
Tuesday 28th Feb Activities at Lake Hayes and Frankton	Macetown activities………………… Tubing, Orienteering, Flying Fox, Tyrolean Traverse, Slug Guns, Bouldering Camp Concert at night.
Wednesday 29th Feb Walk into Macetown Set up camp
Thursday 1st March Activities day in Macetown
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
