Final arrangements

A reminder that students will bring their bags to the Lutwiche Gym on Friday 29th September by 8.30 at the latest. 

Please remember that mobile phone are not allowed on the trip but if students wish to take them.  They must be handed in before they get on the coach in an envelope with their name on.  Medication will also need to handed in with their name on. Please could you ensure there are no products from the nut family, as we have staff/students with severe nut allergies.  If they have an epi-pen please ensure they have two in date ones for the trip.  Students with asthma must hand in a spare inhaler.

Students will attend a briefing in the next couple of weeks with regard to behaviour expectations whilst away and students will choose their activity and tent groups.  You will receive an on-line medical consent form our Evolve system please read and complete carefully before submitting.  If you need to add any further details regarding any medical information please email visits@cncs.co.uk 

The parent information evening will be on Tuesday 19th September at 18:00 in the College Lecture Theatre.

We strongly recommend that all items taken on the trip are named as much as possible, this will limit lost property. A waterproof jacket and changes of warm clothes are essential.  Please see the suggested kit list below:
