Harakeke Camp Notice 2

Jemima Colquhoun —

Here is the timetable, gear list, costs and some more important information for camp for Harakeke Hub, coming up in the first week of Term 4 (11th October or 12th October). Please see the Hero post for the group your child will be in if they are staying overnight.

Costs

For overnight stay and zoo day trip, the costs per child are $90. 

For zoo day trip only, the costs per child are $17.

These costs will be added to your child's kindo account. 

Gear list:

N.B - Wellington Zoo will provide sleeping rolls for overnight stay.

  • Non-uniform warm clothes for our night and early morning tour of the zoo

  • Good walking shoes

  • Drink bottle

  • Bag with toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, brush or comb).

  • Pyjamas or sleepwear

  • Pillow

  • Sleeping bag

  • Any medication that is not currently held at school. This can be handed to the teacher when you arrive at the zoo for the overnight stay.

  • Soft toy (if required)

  • Change of clothes

If your child is in Group 1 - they will also need a backpack to carry around their day items while at the zoo after sleeping over. We will keep all other overnight bags stored at the zoo, before taking them back on the bus to school to be picked up.

Please remember your child will need to be capable of carrying their own belongings back to the bus to come back to school.
