We would like to inform you of our last Gashuku (grading camp) of the year. We have all had a stressful year and the end is in sight!

We will have to pay the camp by the end of October 2021 so all payments should be completed by 25 October 2021.

 • If parents do not want the student to sleep over but still attend all activities the daily schedule can be sent and a fee would still be charged. For beverages and “day visitor on-site”.

 • Once we have received confirmation of the number of students attending and if this is a possibility for us this year we will send a menu out that would be up for discussion.
 • It would be greatly appreciated if parents and students that attend would volunteer to help with the preparation of meals.

We would like all students and parents to keep in mind that this is in a nature reserve, regarding littering, picking of flowers this is not allowed or in any sense acceptable. Those who smoke please safely dispose of your cigarette buds.
