Information for Families: 

Dates

Camp 1 - 9A, F & C – Monday 10 – Friday 14 August

Camp 2 - 9B, D, E & G – Monday 24 – 28 August

Whilst August and September may still seem a while off yet, students have begun preparations for their Alpine Camp.

Students have had an information session in Assembly outlining the camp and what it entails, as well as the equipment required.

Equipment

Students are provided with hired skis, boots, poles, and a helmet. All students however are required to have their own waterproof snow gloves and eye protection in either the form of sunglasses or snow goggles. Whilst many families may not already have these items these can be borrowed from family, or friends at other year levels. In the coming months retail stores such as Anaconda and even Aldi will begin having sales on ski gear and will have these items available for purchase at good prices.

Students also have the option to either bring their own waterproof snow jacket, and waterproof snow pants or they have the opportunity to hire these items. If students choose to hire these items these are covered under the costs of the camp. Students will have indicated on their camp information form completed at school if they need to hire the waterproof snow jacket and/or pants. Please discuss this with your student and contact Kirsty Barnes if you need to amend the information your student has provided. This information will then be used to finalise our bookings with Falls Creek.

PAM

Further information including PAM permissions and the Camp Handbook will be available for families early next Term.
