On Tuesday 19th March, the Year 7’s will Trek up the Port Hills, one of our Year 7 EOTC activities.

Departure: Leaving school at 9.00am. Children must be at school as normal.

Arrival: Approximately 3.10pm at Casebrook Intermediate.

Cancellation: The Casebrook website (www.casebrook.school.nz) will be updated If the weather is marginal by 7.30am. App notification will also be sent out.

A huge thank you to those parents who are able to join us on what should be a great day out.

It is important that students take personal responsibility for applying sunscreen regularly throughout the day, as well as ensuring they are appropriately dressed to the condition, including a suitable hat.

As the day will be a long one in the elements it is essential for students to come prepared with clothing for all weather and with plenty to eat and drink.

What to Bring:

• T-shirt

• Shorts or track pants

• Good walking shoes or boots

• Warm sweatshirt/hoodie

• Sunhat

• Sunscreen

• A waterproof jacket may be required if cloud or drizzle is in the weather forecast

• Morning tea (snacks)

• A packed lunch

• Lots of drink (No canned or bottled soda / energy drinks thanks)

• Any medication in a sealed envelope with name on it

• Any ipods, mobile phones or gaming devices won't be necessary so can be given to the teacher to be locked away until returning to school.

If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me. ekennedy@casebrook.school.nz

Your sincerely,

Elizabeth Kennedy (EOTC Co-ordinator)
