Activity Week 2019
Dear Parents/Caregivers,
An activities period for students will be held at the end of Term 4 from Mon 16th Dec - Wed 18th Dec 2019.
The aim of Activity Week is to provide an opportunity for students to broaden their educational and leisure experiences
and to build positive relationships, in a less formal setting, with each other and their teachers. These opportunities are not
always available in the usual school setting.
Activity Week is a component of the school curriculum and students in all years are expected to participate.
It is a requirement of the Department of Education that students MUST attend school every day. Students who DO NOT
participate in an activity are required to be at school. Free activities will be run for students who do not wish to or are
unable to take part in a paid option.
Students are asked to select a 3-day bundle from the activity package outlined below. We will endeavour to place your
child into their selection; however, you will appreciate this may not always be possible. The following criteria will be used
to determine placement into an activity: -
● Signed permission slip returned with -Payment of the non-refundable deposit;
● Students with a large outstanding fees account balance may not be accepted into an activity requiring
additional payment until outstanding fees are paid.
● The school year of the child
Payment of a Non-refundable deposit of approximately one third of the total cost paid
on the date below will secure their position in the activity.
Term 4
Week 2 Activity Week information booklets distributed.
Week 5 Return signed Student permission form and payment of deposit
to Finance Office to reserve your place.
All other activities NO CHANGES and NO REFUNS*
Week 6 Final payment due (balance of total cost) 22 Nov 2019
NOTE: Students selecting water-based activities will need to pass an appropriate water proficiency test before being
allowed to participate. Because of the need to book transport and activity refunds will only be given under VERY
EXCEPTIONAL circumstances.
