Dear all,
Sorry for the inconvenience but due to a change in day of Council meeting we have moved the Kimberley Tour meeting to the main library on Monday at 6pm. It is located just opposite the community room.
Thank you for your understanding.

Hello all,
It has been decided that the meeting on Monday the 26th August will be a combined meeting of students and parents commencing at 6pm at Duncraig in The Community Room. This will allow for parents to arrive post work. It will be a brief meeting, answering any last-minute questions you may have and going through the itinerary and packing list one last time.
Any questions please feel free to contact the tour staff.

Service Learning Tours Officer
Morning all,
The final tour payment is due on 19th Aug. Could you please ensure that it is paid promptly so that we can settle all accounts prior to departure.
Kimberley Safari Tours have also advised us that you will not need to pack a sheet or pillow, they supply them. However a head torch would be useful.
Any questions please feel free to ask any of the tour staff.
Regards
Donna Wilson

Not long now! Very exciting.
Before we get to Wednesday 11 September though, we have a couple more gatherings in preparation.
Monday 29 July(that’s right….next week) – 4pm to 5pm at Duncraig Campus – a bit of a get to know each other session.
Monday 26 August(week 6) – 4pm – TBA – most likely a session to make final arrangements with itinerary and packing and to answer unresolved questions.
I sent an email off to the Principal of Frog Hollow School in Purnululu. Below is an excerpt that you may want to consider in personal preparation…
“I would suggest the students look at our facebook page and the website. I would recommend they study the history of the area, the impact of cattle stations on Gija people and the removal from those stations when equal wages were introduced resulting in Gija people being rendered unemployed, homeless and penniless. This is the foundation on which Frog Hollow station was built and where the school now stands. There is also a detailed exhibit at the Boola Bardip museum about Purnululu with an interactive story.”

*There are still 8 Family’s that I am yet to hear from regarding swimming abilities.
Dear Students and Parents,
So that we can provide excellent care and supervision around water activities, can each family please indicate student swimming ability via email to daniel.parker@ststephens.wa.edu.au. This information will only be for myself, Donna Wilson and Jane Greenough.
Simply state one of the three options…
*please also indicate if there is any current or past fear or phobia regarding water activities.
It is highly unlikely that this information will disqualify you from our activities. It simply gives us an opportunity to plan and ensure adequate care is given.
Kind Regards
Mr Daniel Parker
