The excursion to Myalup for Tree Planting has now been brought forward to Thursday, 15th June, instead of Friday, 16th June, due to a possible storm forecast in the region on Friday.
We will be required to depart school earlier than the normal time and will be returning later than the end of the school day. An outline of the itinerary is below. Half of the students will be tree planting on the dunes, while the other half will be participating in coast care activities. After lunch, the groups will switch.

Rain and Clothing: There is shelter in the event of heavy rain at the Myalup Community Hall; however, this is away from the dunes. With possible light rain forecasted, students will need raincoats and a second pair of shoes and socks as the planting will go ahead. Please wear a normal school uniform shirt and bring an extra jumper to keep warm. Students can wear jeans or tracksuit pants if they wish.
Gloves: It is handy if your child can also bring a pair of gardening gloves.
Food & Toilets: Students need to provide their own food for the day, 2 x crunch and sip and lunch. Students should bring a full water bottle, and there will be opportunities to refill them. Please pack food and the water bottle in a labelled plastic bag, together with the second pair of shoes and socks if necessary. There are toilets at the Myalup Beach Car Park and the Myalup Community Hall. All students should go to the toilet before getting on the bus.
