Hi, The Silver Qualifying Expedition is next week from Tuesday 9th July to Thursday 11th July.
Students need to arrive at school at the normal time of 8.30am for registration. (Registration will be in Xp East in the community area with crew leaders).
Students will be available to collect from XP East on the 11th July at 5pm. Students will NOT be allowed to leave earlier as de-gunging equipment is part of the expedition process.
Please check the DofE@XP website for a reminder of the kit list. You can find it under EXPEDITION / EXPEDITION KIT & EQUIPMENT and scroll down. It is really important that they have the appropriate kit. If they do need to borrow anything whilst on expedition this must be returned or a charge may be incurred.
Rucksack packing will take place on Monday 8th July from after school to 5pm so remind them to bring in their kit & food that morning.
I’m unsure of what the weather will be like next week and is often different to what has been forecast so please make sure they have all the kit listed from suncream to wolly hat & gloves.
If there are any changes to the original expedition consent / medical form, such as emergency contact, medication etc then please inform us as soon as possible.
Please remember that students must NOT carry medication on themselves unless previously arranged with their expedition supervisor.
All mediation must be sent in to expedition supervisors in its original packaging with the students name on it, the name of the medication, dose and frequency and when they last took it (if necessary) and put in a plastic zip lock bag. Permission to administer this must be recorded on the consent / medical form or given in writing.
Thanks
Kate
