Dear Parent/Guardian
Wakeboarding at Hilsea Lido
3 sessions beginning Wednesday 20th April,
Your son/daughter has expressed an interest in being part of a school wakeboarding club. Wakeboarding can be a dangerous activity and if you are unsure as to what it is I urge you to look it up online. The students will be wakeboarding on a lake, they will be being pulled around the lake by a cable.
The club will run on Wednesdays after school, 4:15 – 5:15pm, at South Coast Wakeboading at Hilsea Lido. Students will be transported by Mr Turner in his car to Hilseabut students will need collecting/make their own way home from Hilsea at 5:15pm. There will be no female member of staff attending this activity.
There are 4 places available per 3 week course and the cost of the course is £38. As this trip is deemed to be an enhancement to the curriculum, the school normally is unable to offer financial assistance and therefore the full cost of the activity must be borne by yourselves. Payments and accompanying paperwork must be handed in on or before the deadline date outlined to avoid jeopardising your child’s place on the trip/activity. Should your child withdraw from the activity, please be aware if a deposit is required that this will be non-refundable and any further payments can only be refunded if the place can be filled by another student on a waiting list, or if the withdrawal is for an insurable reason. If there are significant changes to the cost of the trip, these may have to be passed on to the student. Be assured that we will try to keep such costs to a minimum.
We would advise that students do not to take valuables out on school activities, however, should they be taken parents should ensure personal possessions are adequately insured.
It is the parent’s/guardian’s responsibility to update the school should there be any changes to the medical information about their child. Please communicate these to Mrs Brettell, Business Support Manager.
Please complete and return the consent form and monies (cheques made payable to Oaklands Catholic School) to the Finance Office by Thursday 24 March 2016. Alternatively you can pay online.
Yours sincerely
Mr K Quinn
Activity Organiser
