A permission slip will be issued early next term. Please add your name to the list below if you are able to help in some capacity. This may give those parents who are flexible with timing the opportunity to see where we have a need.Hopefully this will prevent us having more parents than we need on some days and not enough on other days. I have taken the liberty of entering names of those parents who have emailed their offers of help. If this has changed please delete your name. In the interests of privacy, as this site can be accessed by the general public, please use your first name and your child's name to identify yourself.

 * The children will be snorkelling in two groups** **Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday**. We need one adult to every two children in the water. With a maximum of 14 children we need 7 adults in the water for both dives. I can dive both times with two children.I would prefer our instructor, Kim to be free to move betweeen the pairs of children.So we need a minimum of 6 parents per dive. We will also need 4 parent to supervise children who are not snorkelling, to do the following activities- glass bottom boat trip, rock pool study, games etc. Please add your name under the headings below. Also indicate if you do not have your own gear ( wet suit, mask, snorkel & flippers)

Hi Sue, Trevor (Isaac) can transport 3 kids plus gear with a covered trailer to and fro. Can stay Tues / Wed nights, can dive with kids, have 4 kayaks and life jackets if needed but wouldn't then have a covered trailer as the kayaks sit on it and the cover won't go on top of the kayaks. The trailer will fit extra kayaks on it in addition to our 4 if transport for more is needed.

Hi Sue- Andy and I both available to transport down and back- we will take 2 cars- and Andy can bring boat + 2 kayaks if you want. We will stay both nights-what is the accomodation arrangement? Debbie G I have booked two cabins for parents sleeping 5-6 each. There are more cabins available and tent sites. Within the set school fee that the children have paid I have sufficent funds for 12 parents. How this will work if I have parent numbers in excess of this budget I will have to check with Kevin how I handle this. Do let me know if you would like separate accomodation or a tent site booked and I will ring the Pakiri Camp. Hi Sue, welcome back - hope you had a good break. Have added in numbers for car and that we can help out with Kayaks etc. Let us know if you need anything further. Chris S.
