Final Camp Messages

Production was a great success and I'm super proud of all the kids. They were fabulous in all respects. Now it's time to move into thinking about camp on Monday! Below are a few last minute reminders and a copy of the gear list in case you've misplaced the one sent home a few weeks ago.

Students need to at school by 8.30am. We will load up the bus and hope to be on the road before 9am. We will be back by 3pm on Friday. If our return time changes we will let you know by alert and the school Facebook page.

We are sleeping marae style at the zoo on Monday night and will need to use our sheets and sleeping bags, so it's a good idea to make sure those things can be reached easily. Also the zoo have said that although it is summer, it gets very cold walking around the zoo at night so make sure lots of warm clothes are packed. We will have to walk about 200m with all our gear, so make sure everything is well packed in one bag if possible.

A day bag is needed for the first day with a really good lunch included. We will be having sausages for tea at the pool before heading to the zoo but it's a long day before then, so pack a filling lunch and remember a drink bottle.

A maximum of $20 is allowed to be brought on camp by each child, although none is required. Children are expected to look after this money themselves.

I will provide some lollies and chocolates so please don't pack these things, other snacks like muesli bars etc are fine if your child thinks they need them.  Also no devices or phones are to be taken. Children can use my phone if they need to contact you.

Any medication needs to be named and handed to me on Monday morning.

Girls need to provide some home baking each and boys need to provide a bag of fruit to share. This will be our morning and afternoon tea when we are out and about.

Please remember that all camp fees need to be paid before we leave. You will need to talk to Annette or Kim if you haven't done this.

See you all Monday morning! ☺☺☺
