Notices+for+Camp+2008

Camp Raglan Our senior school camp for 2008 is scheduled for the very beginning of Term 2 for 2008. The Raglan Camp, overlooking the coast, has been booked for the week beginning Monday the 5th May, through to Friday the 9th May This is the first week of term two! Planning is well under way to make the most of this spectacular venue. There will be some changes to the previous programmes so that we can fully utilize resources and time. The camp is considered to be an integral part of the senior school programme. Classroom programmes will be based on experiences gained from camp for most of Term 2. We therefore encourage “all” year 5 & 6 students to attend. For many this is the highlight of the school year.  Increasing costs for our outdoor education programme are causing our staff some concern. Unfortunately inflation is unavoidable. We have tried to keep the cost to an absolute minimum. This year our week—long programme will be $  150.00. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-default-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-latin-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-greek-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-cyrillic-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-latinext-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; language: en-NZ; mso-ansi-language: en-NZ">This includes transportation, accommodation, and a fully catered meal service for the week. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-default-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-latin-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-greek-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-cyrillic-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-latinext-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; language: en-NZ; mso-ansi-language: en-NZ"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-default-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-latin-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-greek-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-cyrillic-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-latinext-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; language: en-NZ; mso-ansi-language: en-NZ">Please find attached a gear list and payment plan options form.
