DOFE Arrangements for Thursday – 28th Sept

Can all DOFE students on their expedition tomorrow (Thursday) meet at Barrhead train station at 9am – please do not meet at the school.

Travel Arrangements

On Thursday, half of the group will travel to Greenock in the minibus, the other half by train – accompanied by Mr Weir.

On Friday, the students that travelled to Greenock by train will return in the minibus, and the other half of the students will return by train accompanied by Mrs Kirkpatrick.

Students should be back at Barrhead train station by 3pm (although it could be earlier).

Costs

The cost of each DOFE expedition is normally around £20. This covers the cost of hiring minibuses/ transit vans, diesel, gas for the trangia stoves and any sundries that students require (suntan lotion, aftersun, soft drinks and food if students are dehydrated or cold).

Where the total cost of an expedition is lower, monies will be returned.

Organising our expeditions in this way allows us to keep the costs to a minimum, and is considerably lower than other secondary schools in ERC.
