Sport Excursion Reminders

All consent forms must be returned like every other excursion to the front office WITH the payment by the due date on the form.
No student will be allowed to bring the consent form on the day and/or bring the money on the day.
No CONSENT form - No MONEY – not returned by DUE date = No GO = get left behind = unhappy team and coach
If your family qualify for the Camps and Excursions fund provided by the Govt you need to collect a form from the General Office. This helps you pay for all camps and excursions, but it must be registered by June. You can only access the fund after your form has been processed.
