Dear Year 2 Parents

It is very exciting that we will be conducting a Year 2 Sleepover as part of the Junior School Study Tour Program.  This is an excellent way of introducing our students to a 'camping experience'.

Children need to be at school normal time on Thursday, 22 October. We will be departing at 11 am sharp for The Melbourne Aquarium. Teachers attending this excursion will be Mrs Balfour, Mrs Wigg, Mrs Pike, Mrs Broso and Mrs Cousland. These staff members will assist us in running the sleepover.

Children will be required to bring morning and afternoon tea, two drinks and cut lunch in a disposable bag on Thursday. All meals on Thursday night and Friday will be provided. Dinner on Thursday night will be served at School. Children will wear casual clothes for the sleepover (see attached clothing list).

We will be sleeping in the Year 2 classrooms, therefore, students will need a sleeping bag, sleeping mat, lilo or blow up mattress to sleep on. As luggage space will be restricted it is extremely important that an overnight bag be used - not a large suitcase.

On Friday, we will be visiting the Mushroom Reef in Flinders, followed by a BBQ lunch and fishing at the Flinders Pier. The children will be dismissed at normal time (3.25pm).

Any medication required by your child should be marked clearly with name and written directions and handed to your child's teacher by Wednesday 21 October in a 'clip seal' bag. Please do not allow your child to bring sweets or other confectionery on the camp as it will
be confiscated.

All medical forms must be returned to your child's teacher by Monday 14 October.

If you have any queries do not hesitate to see us.

Yours sincerely
