Students will be given a packed lunch on the return coach journey but will be responsible for feeding themselves on the way to Cornwall. We will stop at a service station, so they can purchase food or bring sandwiches. Students will only need a small amount of money as all events and activities are paid for. Any medication that needs to be kept by staff should be handed to the relevant ‘activity group’ teacher in a named bag on arrival at the school before the coach departs. On arrival at Newquay we will be taking part in surfing almost straight away. Students will not have time to go and unpack beforehand and so will need to have swimwear easily accessible in their luggage in order to change. LUGGAGE  There is a very limited amount of room on the coaches for luggage. Please ensure your child packs a sensible amount of clothing (see suggestions below) and their suitcase/ bag is of a reasonable size. Kit list The day activities are land based or water based. In the evenings we will invariably be playing games on the beach. There is no need for any “smart” or fashion clothing. Swimwear Towels x 2 (1 for hotel and one for wet activities) Sun cream Footwear for the water Sweatshirt(s) / jumper Old shoes/ Trainers Shorts / jeans Waterproof / shower proof jacket Small rucksack COMMUNICATION  Please remind your child that if they have any issues that they should see a teacher about it rather than phone you. If they do phone you, can you please pass the onus back onto them to come and see us rather than you contacting us. This is all part of the learning / growing up process that the trip is trying to promote. East Barnet School is an Academy Trust and a charitable company limited by guarantee.
