P6 Ski Trip
2024 - 2025 information
This academic year, we have booked a trip for our P6 pupils to go to Abernethy on a residential Ski Trip. Skiing is something that is dear to our hearts at Kellands, and this is an excellent opportunity for our children to have a great experience, learn new skills and/or develop their technique. We will leave school on Monday 27th January and return on Friday 31st January 2025.
A formal email has been sent out to all parents in the year group.
Please join our Information Evening on Thursday 5th September 2024 to find out more. It starts at 6pm and will last approximately 45 minutes.
Set within Cairngorms National Park.
Just outside the village of Nethybridge, 13 miles from Aviemore.
25 acre private estate.
We will have sole occupancy.

PAY IS THE WAY!
An email has been sent out with account details and how to pay. Please check your inbox and if you have not received a letter, get in touch asap.
The total cost for the trip is £424 and we will operate a payment plan to spread the cost.
Please note, these are suggested payment dates, and you can pay on another suitable date e.g., your pay day or you can pay in full if you prefer. If you wish to pay in full, please let the office know when you will be doing so. The total cost includes accommodation, meals, private coach travel, equipment, and £10 pocket money.
We must however advise that if payment has not been made in full before six weeks prior to the trip date, then your child will not be allowed to go on the trip. Please note that due to the terms and conditions of our booking with Abernethy, no individual refunds can be given for any reason.
Aberdeenshire Council has a grant scheme for families who might find it difficult to pay the full amount. Information on how to apply can be found HERE.
Please don’t hesitate to come and talk to us at school if you need any help with this.
QUESTIONS?
If you have any questions about anything at all regarding the trip, please don't hesitate to get in touch. No question is too big, or too small, or too silly. We will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible.
