When packing your bag for the Canberra excursion, make sure you pack it yourself so that you know where everything is when you get there. Check with your parents before leaving to make sure you have included everything.
In your daypack:
A small bag containing food for day one, water bottle, raincoat, wallet and tissues. The daypack is taken on the bus and must be small in size (no school size backpacks). Students may bring small items for entertainment such as playing cards, a book or mini travel games. Your own Epipen or asthma puffer should also be in your day pack.
In your luggage:
• Beecroft PS Winter school uniform to be worn on Day 1 (Wednesday 6th June ) for attending Parliament House
• Casual clothing for two-days (remember Canberra is cold in June). Dressing in layers is best as most of the venues are well heated.
• Shoes must be closed in and suitable for indoor and outdoor activities.
• Warm jacket to be worn over day clothes and be taken on the bus (does not need to be blue as we remove before PH)
• Beanie / Scarf (optional)
• Wet weather gear packed in daypack (no umbrellas)
• Winter pyjamas or tracksuit for sleeping in. The temperature in Canberra can drop to minus degrees. Warm nightwear is needed.
• 3 sets of underwear
• 3 pairs of socks
• Comfort item such as soft toy or blanket
• Toiletries – toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, hair product, deodorant (no aerosol cans), comb etc…
• Spending money (children are allowed to use the shop at Questacon and at other venues when given permission by venue staff and teachers). We may also be stopping on the return journey to Sydney where students may have the opportunity to purchase extra afternoon tea. Approximately $30-$35 should be sufficient.
