Re: Woodlands Outdoor and Adventure Centre

Date: 1st October 2004

Dear Parents

The College is now entering into the fourth year of the Woodlands residential, where Year 8 students have been selected to have the opportunity to experience the course. The course is targeted towards developing the personal and social skills of every individual with a challenging, educational, team building and rewarding experience for all those involved. The Woodlands Centre offers students an experience that will stay with them throughout their life and offers challenges that would not otherwise be available.

The course will include the following activity areas:





Rock Climbing
Mountain Walking
Woodlands Challenges
Canoeing

A fully qualified team will supervise and instruct the students for the entire duration of the course to ensure safety, challenge, experience and most of all fun, in all of the adventure activity areas.

The course will be on offer to a total of 24 from Year 8 and will run from the Monday, 13th December 2004 to the evening of Friday 17th December, which is the last week of school prior to the Christmas holidays.

The total cost which covers everything for the week (accommodation, 3meals per day, equipment hire, insurance, travel and instructor hire) is £173.75 which can be paid in three installments between now and February 2005. Upon confirmation of being registered on the course, you will receive an Oxfordshire County Council parental consent form and an ‘information for parents’ pack, explaining what is needed and required for the Woodland’s experience. There will also be a parents’ evening where any questions or concerns can be answered.

Yours sincerely
