Term 3, Week 2

Room 4 Newsletter:  Term 3, Week 2

Sunday 26th July, 2015

Thank you to all those who managed to get to the Camp meeting on Thursday night. Your input has enabled us to make final arrangements that best reflect your wishes.

Year 3 & 4 Camp:

I have completed a one-page Information Sheet which will come home with the students’ Homework Clearfiles on Monday.

The cost for our camp will be $175 per student.

The two staff attending this camp will be Mrs Eastwood and myself.

A further ten adults will accompany us and stay overnight at the Lodge, including the adult driving the Emergency Vehicle. Names are outlined on the Information Sheet.

All costs for the staff, adults and bus driver have been built into the cost as agreed at the meeting.

Thank you to those parents who indicated they would be willing to take the “Day Only” option of making their own arrangements to visit us at the Snow Farm. These parents will travel independently (ideally you could car pool) and have the option of skiing at their own expense.

DAY 1

9:30 am	Arrive at Snow Farm. Settle into Lunch room space.
10:00 am	Get fitted into rental equipment, head out onto the Snow.
10:30 am	Lesson with Ski School.
11:45 am	Lunch: Packed lunch.
12:30 pm	Ski Tour around base trails.
1:30 pm	Snow Fun – Tubing etc.

*Note: Day 1 can be extended with a ski around the main basin supervised by parents.  

DAY 2

9 am	Ski from the main basin to Meadow Hut.
11.30 am	Early lunch at the hut and return to base for 1.45 pm departure by bus.

*Note: The hut is 4.5 km away and may take younger kids a while to ski but is very rewarding!
