With the Kereru syndicate camp closely approaching, please ensure you are checking your emails for any last minute updates and things to check. We're looking forward to having an excellent camp!
Dear Parents and caregivers
Just a few final reminders for camp before we leave on Monday 26th March:
If your child has medicine to be taken to camp it must be given to your child’s teacher on the Monday morning in a named plastic bag with clear instructions for how it must be administered. Asthma inhalers must be kept with your child at all times, but shown to the teacher so we are sure your child has remembered them. If your child’s medical needs have changed PLEASE contact the classroom teacher as soon as possible.
All students should be paid for or you should have contacted the school office to arrange payment in instalments. The camp fee is $290.
Ensure that your child has organized and packed their own bag so they know where to find things. A tramping pack or ‘big soft canvas’ type bag is best. All gear should fit into the bag, including the sleeping bag and pillow. Suitcases will not be suitable for this camp.
Lost property at the end of camp is always a major issue. Please, as much as possible, ensure the gear your child brings to camp is clearly named. It would also be a good idea to add a couple of extra plastic bags for wet or dirty clothing.
It is important that for the students to bring a bedroll (for those sleeping in tents) for extra comfort. It can get quite damp and cold on the tent plastic floor sheet.
The students are to bring a packed lunch on MONDAY.
The container of baking (Year 6s only) can be taken to the library as soon as you arrive at school on the Monday morning. Named containers will be returned. It is helpful to use ice cream containers that don’t need returning as we do recycle the containers back at school.
PLEASE ENSURE THERE ARE NO NUTS CONTAINED IN BAKING DUE TO PEANUT ALLERGIES (AND OTHER NUT ALLERGIES) OR IF THERE IS CAN YOU PLEASE CLEARLY LABEL.
A gentle reminder that students are not to bring toys, cell phones, any electronic devices or food to camp. A soft toy however is welcome.
We want the children to eat the food at camp rather than fill up on sweets. Special food for dietary needs is an exception. Please see your class teacher for its storage while at camp. Students will not be hungry as there is plenty of ‘good food’.
MONDAY MORNING: The students are able to arrive at school from 7.30am on Monday morning (and should be at school no later than 8am). Our buses will leave at 8.30am. On arrival to school the students are to put their bag behind a ‘class cone’, which will be set up outside the library. If it is wet (raining) we will set up in the hall. After this has been done the students are to go to their classroom.
THURSDAY: We hope to leave the camp on Thursday at 1pm and should arrive back to school by approximately 3pm.
Thank you for your support.
