School’s Field Trip to Necker Island

23rd January 2013
To: All Parents
From: Miss Atterbury

Dear Parents,

The Primary School has been invited by the Special Projects Team on Necker Island to participate in their environment tour of that island. This is in keeping with our General Science module on the environment, so we have taken up their offer. We have arranged with Speedy’s Ferry to transport us to Virgin Gorda. From there Necker Island’s Team will take us, via bus, to Gun creek, and by their boat to the island.

Each class has been assigned a day to visit. The cost per child will be $20.00 (ferry’s round trip, and bus from the ferry back to the school) per student and $25.00 for adults. The size of the group that can travel at any given time is limited. If you are interested in accompanying your child’s class, please see me or Mrs. Frett. Each child will need to bring a snack and water. For ease, they are to wear their PE clothes and sneakers; a cap is also suggested.

The following is the confirmed schedules for the classes to visit:

These are the procedures for the trip:

1. The fare per child must be in before the scheduled day
2. The children must be dropped off at the Road Town’s Ferry Station by 8:30 a.m.
3. No child should be given money to purchase anything.
4. After the trip from Virgin Gorda, there will be a bus awaiting the classes to transport the children to school. Classes will resume then.
