Dear Parent / Guardian,
On Tuesday 23 July, Mingoola students will join with other schools at Thalgarrah Environmental Education Centre to participate in the Kids vs. Wild personal development program. Students will engage in activities designed to challenge their perceived limitations and discover hidden abilities. Activities include orienteering, survival skills and personal reflection on who they wish to be. This will be an overnight excursion, with students departing Mingoola PS at 7am on Tuesday morning and returning to school by 3pm on Wednesday afternoon.
Please ensure that students arrive at school by 6:45am, with the following equipment:
sleeping bag & pillow or swag
additional blanket (in case of extreme cold)
toiletries
shower towel
old (but warm) clothes for outdoor activities
good walking shoes
torch
thongs to walk to shower
raincoat or waterproof jacket
sleeping clothes / pyjamas
dirty clothes bag
good sun-protective hat
water bottle
crunch for Tuesday (recess and lunch are provided)
crunch, recess and money for lunch ($10) on Wednesday

Students should arrive in the clothes they will wear during the activities, rather than their school uniform. While computer games and entertainment may be brought on this trip, students and parents are advised that luggage will be unsecured during the excursion. As such, it is recommended that students do not bring valuables. Please complete the attached permission slip and return to school this week. There is no cost for this excursion.
