Ski  Trip  -  Years 3 & 4

Thursday 27^th July 2017

Dear Parents

Years 3 & 4 have an Outdoor Education Ski Trip to the Snow Farm (cross country skiing) on Thursday 31^st August, cancellation day Friday 1st September.

All students will be grouped for lessons, with parents amongst the groups for extra supervision and assistance.

All children will be taking a lesson at the beginning of the day with groupings being sorted by ski instructors. We need to know whether those of you accompanying us to supervise the children want to be included in the lessons. The Snow Farm has a policy that if parents are there to supervise children, they are free of charge, but it was made clear that if parents head off to ski alone, then they will need to pay the going rate on the field.

The day will consist of a ski lesson at 9:30, entry to the snow park (sledges etc), and an adventure on the trails with our parents.

The costing (if all children are attending) will be: $80.

Travel will be by bus, all children and teachers plus 2-3 parents, leaving the church car park at 7am sharp and departing from the skifield at 4pm.  Expected arrival time back in Alexandra is 6:00pm. To accommodate all the parents we will need a minimum of 2 vehicles, one of which would be our emergency vehicle.

To meet the required ratio of adults to students we need a minimum of 10 parents to accompany us on this day.  Please complete the attached form and return to the classroom teacher by Wednesday 2^nd August so that we know we have sufficient parent support and planning for this trip can continue.
