Year 8
Camp
Students should be making their final preparations for camp over the coming days in anticipation for our week away at Yarrahapinni.
As suggested in last week’s Note Day, we have placed significant emphasis on students doing their own preparations, while also supporting them so that they know what this looks like, especially in terms of packing. The Redlands program builds year-on-year and is designed to increase student capacity to manage themselves outside of their regular comfort zone.
We recognise that each individual student thinks about camp in their own way and that challenges vary greatly, whether they be physical or emotional challenges. A key message to students this week has been that this is a safe environment for you to challenge yourself in and that your camp guide and teacher in charge are there to support you through these challenges. Students are encouraged to seek support from these individuals when needed.
If you need some support with the medical form process, you can contact medicals@oeg.edu.au and/or Mr Atkins eatkins@redlands.nsw.edu.au
If your child/ren require medications on camp, you will need to complete and return to Mr Atkins a Medical Authority Form located on Pulse HERE. This form will need to be completed prior to departure.
Permissions also need to be completed and you should have received an email from me if these also need to be completed via Pulse.
The equipment list has been provided below in case you have had difficulty accessing it.
Please contact Mr Atkins for any other questions about camp.
