Week 8 Notices

Camp is finally upon us and the weather looks great for our time away. Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who have offered to help us.

Below is information about camp.

• Please arrive at school by 8.45am
• Bring all your gear to Room 3. If your parent/grandparent is transporting, leave your gear in the car.
• Park in the scooter area - the gate on Ranolf Street will be open for you to drive in. The Life Education Classroom will be parked there as well, but there will be plenty of room to park cars there or near the field.
• If you have medication, bring it to Room 3, clearly labelled and in a clear plastic bag. Give the medication to Mrs Ash who will be waiting in Room 3. Please note: if you have indicated that you take medication then it must be taken on camp.
• Baking  - a box will be in Room 3. Please place baking in the box.
• Take note of what you need to bring in your backpack (below). Morning tea, lunch and a water bottle needs to be in your bag. Since it will be hot and sunny tomorrow, wear a sun hat and sunblock.
• We should arrive back at school at 2pm on Wednesday. You may go home with your parents as soon as everyone is back safely.
