Below are the two presentations that Outward Bound shared at the meeting this morning.
The first presentation was shared with both the children and parents but the second presentation was just for the parents.
Some key points to come out of the meeting was that long pants and shirts are essential, all outdoor camping gear and equipment including day packs, sleeping bags and water bottles are provided, mosquito repellent is also a must, as is sunscreen. The children will do a hike and stay in a tent one night out of the four. The other three nights are in dormitories.
The emergency number is 69701050. This number is for the cellphone which will be provided by Outward Bound and given to our teaching staff. Please only ring this number in case of an emergency.
Regular updates – the Outward Bound team will take photos throughout the day and then send the teaching staff a link to share with parents. We will do our best to share this link with you at the end of everyday but please appreciate that we are out camping with the children as well and our main priority, as it should be, is ensuring the children are safe. We also cannot guarantee that a photo of your child will be made available at the end of each day. If the children are out kayaking, hiking or such like it may be that their activities are not covered by the photographers on duty owing to safety or access.
