Kia ora e te whānau,
Thanks so much for responding to the questionnaire that Sandy and Anne sent out on Monday. We've had an overwhelmingly positive response from you in support of our Year 5/6 learners attending camp in Week 7 next term. Living Springs has confirmed that we will go ahead as long as the Covid alert level stays at Level One or Level Two.
We have also been overwhelmed by the number of you who put yourselves forward to be available for parent help at our camp from November 25th to 27th. Thank you. We are sorry that we can't take everyone who volunteered. The people who will be coming with us are:
Colleen Eason Koleighne Ford Rebecca CarrEvan McLaughlan Nicole Forster Brett Cooper
Paula Adams-Stace Chris Hunt Jonathan Pooch
Mike Grantham Linda Hakeagaiki Mami Mori
Simon Scott Michelle Boyle Michael de Clifford
If your name is listed above and you are no longer available to attend our camp, please email anne.batchelor@beckenham.school.nz as soon as possible, and we will offer your place to another parent volunteer on the list.
The Covid Pandemic situation has made this term (and year!) more challenging than most. Sandy and the team have discussed the options in terms of fundraising for camp, whilst also trying not to overload our school community. We have decided not to fundraise as a result. If you have any concerns about paying for your child's camp costs and you have not yet communicated this with us, please let Anne Batchelor know.
Early next term we will send out more information about the camp programme of activities and what to bring etc.
We hope you have a restful holiday break, see you in Term 4.
