First Aid for Gold DoE Students

As agreed at the weekend, I have organised a session on first aid in my room on:

Tuesday 22nd July at 1:50pm in M2

I expect it to last a little over an hour, but this maybe longer if you wish to cover more.

The aim of the session is to increase your confidence in first aid procedures by giving you practical scenarios to 'manage'.

Please let me know if you cannot attend. Could you also tell the other Gold students about this post, even if they have read it! The session really will help with your confidence.

Final Meeting

Please remember you are all expected to attend the final meeting this week:
WEDNESDAY 16th JULY in M2 at 3:00pm!!
Please arrive promptly and bring a pen in case you wish to write anything down.
This meeting is for PUPILS ONLY, parents do not need to be there.

Thanks,
Mr B.

Sunday 22nd June - Training Walk

We're off walking again...

Please remind everyone you see that there is another training walk this Sunday, 22nd June, for the 32 pupils that have brought their permission slips back...

...I can't believe that 7 of you still haven't done this. I gave them to you in MARCH!!

Messers Harris and Bradley have 'volunteered' to plan a route for us this coming weekend and I, for one, cannot wait to see what they've come up with!

See you all in the front car park at 8:00am.

As per normal, you will need to bring food and waterproofs. I would use this as an opportunity to walk with the bag you intend to use in Poland. Please learn the lessons of last time and strap your feet up where needed and CHECK THEM REGULARLY DURING THE WALK. If you have to start walking at a snail's pace due to blisters, it affects the whole group! You have a RESPONSIBILTY to look after your feet.

See you on Sunday, Mr B.

Oustanding Paperwork

There are several of you who still owe bits of paperwork to either myself or to Far Frontiers.

This includes some of the original permission slips for the training activities that I gave out in MARCH!...and up to date PASSPORT details that have been requested by Far Frontiers. Please also make sure that you have made your final payments.

If you need new forms for something that you have been asked for please bite the bullet and contact us. We would much rather that than have to wait any longer for forms that are already overdue!!

Please check you have valid PASSPORT and E111 MEDICAL CARDS and they do not run out half way through the trip. You have enough time to apply for new ones if you DO IT NOW!!
