Skating Timetable 2017

St Gerards skating starts on Tuesday 13^th June.  Find the timetable attached below.

As in past years Room 6 will meet Mr Yeoman at the rink at 8:55am, other classes will be transported to and from the rink.

The cost for skating this year has been held at the same rates for schools as 2016:

• Entry & Skate hire $6 ($3 entry, $3 equipment hire skates and/or stones/sticks)
• Activity $2

Those with full rink concession tickets are not required to pay the entry portion of the programme as long as the class teacher has sighted this ticket. The teacher then records the names on the daily payment sheet. Thanks for your co-operation with this requirement.

Individual class costs are:

• Rooms 1, 2, 7, 3 & 4 (year 4’s): 5 sessions plus bus to and from the rink $45

Health and Safety regulations: from Ice-In-Line

1. All children are to wear appropriate warm clothing such as track pants, hats, jackets and gloves – no skirts or shorts.
2. The wearing of cycle helmets (or similar) is compulsory for school groups.
3. If taking part in curling activities, rubber soled shoes are essential on the ice rather than plastic or leather soled.
4. Running is not permitted on the ice surface or the rink surrounds.
5. Bring your own drink bottle filled with water – spillage from people trying to fill drink bottles is a hazard to others as spilt water turns to ice making the walking surface slippery.

Suggestion: that children NOT wear 2 pairs of socks or really thick socks as this can affect the size skate that they require.
