CAMP LAKE NILLAHCOOTIE 2010

NEXT WEEK IS CAMP.
GRADE 5 DEPARTURE DATE: Tuesday April 27 RETURN DATE: Thursday April 29
GRADE 6 DEPARTURE DATE: Wednesday 28 RETURN DATE: Friday April 30
Buses have been booked to depart school at 8.30am on each departure date. This allows us to free up the school car park before the 8.45am rush. Children have been asked to be at school between 8.00am and 8.15am. Children will meet teachers on the basketball court with bags.
Parents with children taking medication need to meet Mrs Bird (5s) or Mrs Trotter (6s) in the Upper School Building prior to 8.15am on departure day to hand over medication. This needs to include clear dosage instructions.
Children will need their morning tea and lunch in a bag separate to their luggage. This will travel with the children on the bus. Camp groups will aim to return between 3.45pm and 4.00pm to again avoid car park traffic. If you have any questions please contact an Upper School teacher.

Today Upper School students enjoyed a "Community Expo" where a variety of groups came to visit and talk about their role in the community. We were lucky enough to have volunteers visit from the Scouts, Youth Services, Rotary, the Lions Club, the Nillumbik Library, the CFA, the Nillumbik Living and Learning Centre, the Banyule Volunteers and the Diamond Valley Traders. Our guest speakers responded to questions from the students. The morning was enjoyed by all involved.

Term 2

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a nice Easter break.

Term 2 is shaping up to be a very busy term. Upper School students will be heading off to camp in week 3. We are heading up to Lake Nillahcootie which is near Mansfield. I suggest everyone brings VERY warm clothes & PJs because I suspect it is going to be cold. Lake Nillahcootie is a fantastic camp. Students participate in a variety of adventure activities including, canoeing, abseiling & climbing wall, team challenges, obstacle course, flying fox and archery.

We are currently asking parents to complete medical forms and finalise payments to assist with the organisation of this camp. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
