Dear Parents/Carers,

Year 8 Team Building Weekend

20th September to 22ndSeptember 2013

The team building weekend is now fast approaching. Please find below details of the final arrangements:

Depart school: 2.15pm Friday 20th September

Return to school: 5.30pm Sunday 22nd September

Students should bring their bags with them to school. Bags will be locked in the school gym. We ask that all bags be dropped off between 8.15 a.m. and 8.30a.m. Students will complete periods 1 – 4 as usual, and must have their books for these lessons with them. At the end of period 4 students should assemble on the playground by the astro turf. Students do NOT have to wear school uniform.

Please remember that students will be active all day and appropriate clothing will be required, i.e. shorts, t-shirts, jumpers, tracksuit trousers, trainers, waterproofs – please allow for one change of clothing to get very dirty! Students should also pack an outfit for the disco, pajamas, toiletries, a swimming costume and a towel.

Students will be allocated their rooms and told their travel groups and activity teams before departure. All meals whilst at the centre are pre-paid. There is a shop on site selling snacks, drinks and souvenirs, so students may wish to bring a small sum of money to spend. Any electrical items, such as mobile phones and MP3 players are taken at the students’ own risk.

I would ask you to remind your son/daughter about behaviour. They must follow the instructions of staff and instructors. Any serious misbehaviour may result in parents being asked to collect their child from the centre.

We will be staying at:

The Pioneer Centre, Cleobury Mortimer, Kidderminster DY14 8JG.

Tel: 01299 271217

Please complete the attached EV2 form to provide current contact, medical and dietary details for your child and return to the school office by 13th September 2013.

Yours faithfully
