Yr 3/4 Camp
December 13, 2021 @ 8:00 am - December 14, 2021 @ 5:00 pm
Dear Parents and Carers, In a very unexpected turn of events, Camp Manyung have had a last-minute booking cancellation and the Year 3/4 students will now be able to attend a shorter 2-day camp in the final week of term. Given that our camp dates are only two weeks away, we need your support in reading and responding to the attached forms as quickly as possible. We will be travelling by bus and departing from St Kilda Park Primary School. Please arrive at 7:30am for departure at 7:45am on Monday 13th December. We arrive back at school at approximately 3:00pm on Tuesday 14th December. Camp Manyung is a registered camp that offers an excellent range of fun and safe adventure activities overlooking the beautiful Port Phillip Bay. The experience builds children’s independence, resilience, cooperation and teamwork skills, as well as strengthening social bonds. All activities are supervised by school staff or qualified camp staff. The students will be accommodated in bunk rooms located around a central courtyard. Students have already been provided with an opportunity to nominate fellow cabin members and these requests will be taken into consideration when cabin rooms are formed. Full Department of Education paperwork must also be provided for each student. A new Parent Excursion Consent form has been sent home and must be returned to your child’s teacher by Monday 6th December. We will be re-using the Confidential Medical Information Form that was completed for the 3-day camp. Please let your child’s teacher know if any medical information needs to be updated or if you did not receive this original form. We are also asking all Year 3/4 parents to logon to Compass https://skipps-vic.compass.education/ to make online payment for the camp. The school highly values attendance on camps and are happy to try and help out if families are experiencing financial hardship. Please contact Neil to discuss how the school may be able to assist you. Please note, we require you to both make online payment via Compass AND complete the paper consent form in order for your child to attend camp. Please don’t hesitate to contact the 3/4 team if you have any further queries. Stephanie, Lil, Tom, Susan and Cath |
