Hello Everyone,

We had an enjoyable morning altogether for our second training day at Carramar yesterday. It was a great opportunity to familiarise ourselves with how to set up some Swags and practise some cooking skills. Please read the attached documents carefully. Outlined in the first document is the final itinerary for the tour and the second document is the packing list. As a request, can all tour members please add a pair of gardening gloves to their packing list. Yesterday we discussed the importance of packing suitable clothing. Please remember the tour is not a fashion parade for your best outfits, but rather clothing that will protect you from the warm conditions during the day and keep you warm at night time. If you have any questions regarding packing, please email a the tour staff members or post a comment on the blog with your query. Lastly, a friendly reminder that you will need to have a face mask with you at the airport.

What to Bring 2021 SSS[30]

We look forward to seeing you all on the 12th of September.

We hope that you have all had a restful break and that your Term 3 has gotten off to a great start. The purpose of this blog post is to remind students and parents that the next team building session will be on Thursday, 19 August from 9:00am- 12:00pm at Carramar. Duncraig students will leave the Duncraig campus at 8:30am, and return to campus at 12:30pm.

For all students involved, please ensure that your teachers know that you will not be present in class during this time, and that you do not have any other commitments (i.e. music lessons) during this time. Parents, please ensure that you have completed the Consent 2 Go paperwork.

We look forward to getting together with you all again.

Take care,

Mr Sloan, Ms Uglow, Mr Lewis and Mrs Luinstra

The team had a great morning getting to know each other at the Duncraig campus today. Our teamwork skills were put to the test with a challenging block building activity, followed by some fire making practice. We enjoyed each others company around the fire and began thinking about some campfire games we might play on the tour. We finished the session with some basic first aid skills, led by the wonderful Duncraig Nurse Erica. We discussed sun safety, snakes, spiders, ticks, allergies/Epipen use, open fire safety and bush safety.

Before our next session, we encourage students to continue practicing their cooking skills, and to think of a range of activities they can do while they are on the bus.

Hi everyone,

You should have received a Consent 2 Go notification for our two cross-campus training sessions. These sessions are on June 17 (at Duncraig) and August 19 (at Carramar). Both sessions will be from 8:30am- 12:30pm (including time for travel). If students have any regularly scheduled lessons (i.e. music or tutoring), it is up to the parents to let the tutors know of your child’s absence.

As discussed at the information night, the primary purpose of these sessions is to get to know each other and build a sense of team. In addition to this, we will be learning to set up our swags, practicing our cooking skills and fire making skills (if weather permits).

Students are not required to bring any special equipment with them.

If you require any additional information, please contact any of the tour staff: Mr Matthew Sloan (matthew.sloan@ststephens.wa.edu.au); Mrs Hannah Uglow (hannah.uglow@ststephens.wa.edu.au); Mr Ted Lewis (ted.lewis@ststephens.wa.edu.au); or Mrs Kim Luinstra (kimberley.luinstra@ststephens.wa.edu.au).

We look forward to seeing you all at these sessions,
