2012 YEAR 10 QUEENSLAND EXCURSION

8 May 2012

 

Dear Parent/Guardian 

2012 YEAR 10 QUEENSLAND EXCURSION

Following are permission notes and information for the 2012 Year 10 Queensland Excursion.  Please take the time to read through all the attachments and return the required notes to the school. 

Please note that the initial deposit of $150 is required by the end of Term 2 (29 June).  This deposit is not refundable.  Instalments can be made through the front office during Term 3.  The total cost of $550 is due by Friday 12 October 2012 as numbers need to be finalised with the accommodation and tour providers.  The school's Refund Policy is attached for your perusal.  

All students must pass a swimming test to participate in aquatic activities.  This will take place during PE and Sport at the beginning of Term 4.  It is the student's responsibility to ensure that they are tested prior to departure.  

Dietary requirements and medical conditions of students are very important.  In the unlikely event that medical attention is required, it is important that emergency contact details and Medicare numbers are correct.  

The "Excursion Consent Form" (two pages) must be completed fully and returned with the initial deposit.  Please note that there is no ambulance cover in Queensland, students must have private ambulance cover or be prepared to pay full costs if the ambulance is called. 

Attendance on this excursion is a privilege and numbers are limited. Students who have achieved the highest levels in the welfare system will be given preference, students are therefore reminded to hand in their merit awards to Mrs Mendham as soon as they qualify to go up a star in the welfare system. Students who wish to go on the excursion are also reminded of the need to adhere to school policies with regards to regular attendance, behaviour and the wearing of uniform. 

We anticipate that the students will enjoy themselves this year but would encourage parents and students to consider what valuables they bring with them.  Teachers will not be responsible for the safe keeping of valuables.  

Should you have any questions regarding the excursion, please contact me or Moyra Mendham, Year 10 Year Adviser.
