Year 5 Camp – Parent Information Session

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The Year 5 team are delighted to share further information about the upcoming Year 5 camp in Pui O.

Accommodation:

The two-night camp will take place from Wednesday 6th March 2023  to Friday 8th March 2024 at Treasure Island, Pui O. The children will be staying in tents and will be provided with the tent and roll mat by Treasure Island. There will be a maximum of two children in a tent. Treasure Island will provide a comprehensive ‘What to Bring List’, which we will share closer to the time.

Activities

During the camp, we will be taking part in an action-packed programme of incredible opportunities. Part of the itinerary will include the following activities: raft building, orienteering, coasteering, visiting wetlands and buffalos, surfing and stand-up paddle boarding, a barbecue dinner and a beach movie.

Transport Arrangements

The children will arrive at school on Wednesday 6th March at the usual time (8.15am to 8.25am). We will then take a coach to Treasure Island, Pui O. On Friday 8th March, we will return to DBIS by coach. We will leave Pui O at 3.30pm and should be back to DBIS for a 4pm dismissal. 

Registration and Costs

Links to registration forms and information about the cost of the camp will be shared via the hub and Seesaw next week as we are awaiting finalised information from Treasure Island Group.

Parent Information Briefing

We will be hosting an information session for parents on Monday 5th February at 8.30am. The meeting will be held in person in the Globe.

During the meeting, we will share more information about the accommodation at the camp and the schedule of activities that the children will take part in. 

Camps have always been such an integral part of our experiential curriculum at DBIS as they provide children with an opportunity to gain more independence, create deeper bonds with friends, build self-esteem and confidence and also have a great deal of fun. We are very much looking forward to taking your child to this much-anticipated camp. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher.

Kind regards,

The Year 5 Team
