Luggage Please collect a suggested kit list at the end of this session. Luggage label will be sent home next week with the letter detailing final arrangements. One case per child.
Clothing Copies of suggested clothing are on their website and copies will be sent home with the final letter next week. The best advice I can give is to pack lots of warm, old and preferably waterproof clothing. Strong, comfortable and old shoes (x 2 pairs). Disco – one outfit for the disco and a few hangers are useful. Please label all items of clothing with marker. Black bag for dirty, wet clothes is essential.
Packing Useful for child to pack with you! Deodorants – roll on only! Aerosols can set off the fire alarm. Stamps – in past years some children have bought a post card, from the gift shop, to send home!
Pocket Money There is a small gift shop on camp selling gifts and some sweets etc. The children will have to chance to go once a day if they wish to buy any souvenirs or refreshments. Maximum pocket money of £ 10 for the week. Please hand in the money before the day of departure, clearly labelled (zip lock bags are useful) Staff will keep pocket money and will give out daily. It’s useful to have some in change.
Medicine Please ensure if your child requires any medication that you have told us about it beforehand by returning the medication form to Mr Devaney. Place medicine in a plastic bag, clearly labelled with child’s name, dosage and any instructions we require and hand it to a member of staff on the day of departure. Inhalers -can stay with the child. Please make sure there are full for the week ahead.
No valuables or electronic, devices including phones!
Photos The school will take photos. Mr Devaney will collate these and put them on the school blog when we return to school. We will aim to give a mid week update via the blog (depending on internet connection)
