Electronics ● No wifi when at Riverview (rooms) ● No wifi when we eat at Little Planet Students can use electronics when travelling until we reach Little Planet, but then we will collect these (phones, tablets,..). Cameras will be the only electronics students can keep (preferably waterproof one). They are responsible for it. On the hike, they may bring a camera as it is not a ‘wet’ activity. There will be plenty of photos taken by staff - which students will have access to.

Medication If your child takes regular medication – please put in a zip-lock bag clearly labeled: ● Name ● Time of day to take medication ● Dosage ● Any additional information Your group leader will be in charge of collecting and administering medication. Please have your child give it to him/her at the airport on Sunday April 7th upon airport arrival

Do not allow them to bring anything that they cannot afford to lose. ● Passport/ID cards must be in ziploc bags - With NAME ON

Communication I will send an email to Mr. Crowther when we arrive at Little Planet to let you know that we arrived safely. He will forward this information to the parents. I will endeavour to send an email throughout the week with news of what we have been doing. This all depends on wifi coverage. Again, sent to Mr Crowther, who will pass it on. Please refrain from trying to contact your child, unless in the case of a family emergency – contact Mr Wheeler. Any necessary communication shall go through Mr Wheeler who will contact me.
