 Not many sleeps now until we get up super early and head off to Mt Hutt on Thursday, September 1st.<\/p>

At the end of this post is a slide show packed full of information about our day. Please read this through with your child. <\/p>

Change of plan re money. Children are not to bring any money with them on the trip. Mt Hutt is cashless and this will cause a divide between those who have money cards and those who do not. The best option is to say no spending for all children. We suggest a thermos of soup or hot chocolate.<\/p>

Children will need:<\/h4><\/div>
  • thermal layers, two top and one bottom<\/li>
  • weather-proof ski pants<\/li>
  • weather-proof jacket. Puffer jackets are not all waterproof and may need a parker layer on top<\/li>
  • gloves or mittens<\/li>
  • knee length socks<\/li>
  • normal shoes, e.g. running shoes<\/li>
  • suncream<\/li>
  • glasses or goggles<\/li>
  • a hearty lunch and water bottle<\/li>
  • inhaler for those who need it<\/li>
  • any medication for the day in a zip-locked bag to be handed to teacher<\/li>
  • optional - neck muff or scarf (which will need to be tucked inside jacket)<\/li>
  • we will take plenty of photos (any cell phones will be collected and looked after during the day)<\/li><\/ul>
    The best option is for your child to leave their phone at home. We will put out a message to all families to confirm our arrival time back at school.<\/div>
