Students will be dismissed from St Marys Station when we return. Students are to organise their own transport too and from the station. If students miss the arrival time to St Marys Station, we will not wait for them due to time constraints for the event. If students are returning late on the day, students or staff will contact carers and inform of new return time.

On the day, students must wear full school uniform, bring their opal card, bring food and drink on the day, money as we may have time to visit some food outlets on campus and wear comfortable footwear to be prepared to walk in all weather conditions. Students will be supervised by Mr Lane and supported by Haley Trist. This is a FREE event for students to participate in.

Consent forms need to be returned by 1st May 2024 to Mr Lane or online via Compass.
