Clothing & Equipment List Please note: - Ensure that everything is well named.
- Please involve your child with the packing of their bag so they know what they have!
- Each child is responsible for his/her own gear - leave any valuables at home.
- Use this checklist to mark off what you have packed and then you child can use it at
the end of camp to double check they have everything. - On the first day children will need a packed lunch including morning tea.
- The school will not be accountable for lost or misplaced gear. The children are responsible for their own belongings. We will, however, carry out a thorough check before we depart.
