Field+Trip+May+28th+????

Am awaiting suggestions! Friday May 14th. Could you add how many students will be comming on the excurtion, please. All Saints students 25 8:45 to 3:05 St. Therese students 29 8:50 to 3:00 St. Joseph students 45 9:00 to 3:15 St. Christopher students 59 8:40 to 2:40

At this stage I am thinking we could start the morning looking around Lighthorse Pk., Lvp. Looking at the impact of past generations, the old weir and what has been added since they were born the children taking photos, videos, general exploration of it's uses, etc locating the river and the direction of flow Students mix and meet each other, some type of activity where they exchange names and email addresses Perhaps we could then mix up and proceed on a small tour of local area and proceed to Chipping Norton Lakes Any thoughts ideas????

Hi Everyone! St Christopher's has 59 students in total. We will also need to have adult supervision as per excursion ratio. I think that sounds good Alice! It would also be great for students to have some sort of introductions with each other. Possibly establishing small groups with reps from each school. That way they can put some faces to names! maybe some mapping activities could also fit into their travels. Definitely use of video, etc to record the day! - Julie xx

St Christopher's is checking out Friday 4th June.. will post tomorrow to let you know if we can attend!! Thanks. Julie :)

4th June is Ok for st Therese. If we are going to be around water we need to check OH&S teacher to student ratio requirements?? Can we get a guess speaker from sustainable schools??? Or a ranger like we did on that All Saints Sustanable day last year? does Rosemary have the contact for the ranger we used that day?? Thanks melissa

Thanks Melissa, I have contacted Michelle Catley from LVP Council. If she is unavailable will pursue some other speakers. do we need to make alternative venue arrangements in case of rain, say someones school or will we postpone for another day. also to clarify we have $8,000 to spend on teacher release days etc. So I have booked 3 buses, 1 for St Chistophers, 1 for St. Joseph's and 1 for St. Therese and All Saints to share. Sorry to say Michelle Catley was busy on day but have booked Melissa Clarke from LVP Council Environment Officer to speak to us. The 4th of June is all good for St Christopher's! Will check with Mrs Hogan if our school could be utilised on the day in case of rain.. otherwise, could we postpone? As i think it is important and valuable for our students to share their ideas and findings with each other! Will get back to you ASAP! Julie Thanks, Julie
