What an outstanding camp we all had this year! We were so proud of you all for challenging yourselves both individually and as team members! 

IMPORTANT CAMP NOTICE

Dear Parents,

Camp tomorrow and the kids are super excited! Attached is another copy of the gear list, with requirements regarding clothing and sleep gear etc.We noticed that there are not TSHIRTS on the list... sorry about that. PLease pack 3-4 t-shirts!

PLEASE ensure all your child’s clothing is named. 

Please remember that the children are not to bring ipods, Nintendo’s, etc. to camp.

Any medication your child requires should be handed to the classroom teacher in a named bag on the day we depart.

October 23^rd  – Departure Day

On the morning that we leave for camp we would like the children to arrive at school at the usual time and providing the weather is fine, take all their gear and place it outside their classroom (if wet take the gear into their own classroom). 

Parent transporters/ helpers are asked to drive into school after the 9.00 bell and park on the netball court ready for loading up, then assist in loading up with their passenger’s gear. 

We will have a brief meeting in the hall before departing about 9.30 for Governors Bay.

We will be met by the camp staff who will guide us starting from Governors Bay School/Jetty This is expected to take about 2 hours with talks from the staff and lunch along the way.

Parents providing transport

Thanks to those parents are helping us with transport,  please make sure you are at school by 9.05 tomorrow The transport list is below and shows who is travelling together.

See you in the morning

Kind regards

Louise, Jodi, Thomas, Ros, Trish and Joe
