Camp Dates 2026:

Health: 

A health form survey has been sent out by your child’s classroom teacher (links are also above) - this contains important questions about your child. If you have any questions about the form, or feel you need to talk to someone about your child’s health or dietary needs, please email Nurse Amanda Turner (amandat@northcross.school.nz).  This is due by this Friday to give us time to follow up on any health needs and additional planning required. 

Gear:  

Please find the gearlist attached (it has also been emailed by your classroom teacher). One of the most important items is a thoroughly waterproof, mid length raincoat.

Volunteers: 

Some classes are still requiring volunteers – please seriously consider if you are able to provide this support. If you are available, please email annal@northcross.school.nz for more information and police check documentation. 

Payment:

Camp Payment is due Sunday 7 March, 2027 via Kindo. If you have any trouble accessing Kindo, please contact Donne Greentree at donneg@northcross.school.nz .
