DOFE Update 2nd Sept:
- A change has been made to the kit issue below. The DOFE Manager is able to start issuing kit from 5.30pm on Tues, 3rd Sept rather than 6pm as previously stated. If you cannot make the earlier time, this is ok too. We will be at the Fairweather hall from 5.30pm and issue kit until everyone has attended.
- Can all students return their consent forms to Mr Boag ASAP.

All S4 DOFE Students & Parents:
The DOFE Manager has confirmed that all expedition kit will be issued from the Fairweather Hall, Barrhead Road, Newton Mearns, Glasgow G77 6BB on Tuesday, 3rd September, from 6pm.
Students should arrive with their £50 deposit (either as cash or a cheque made payable to East Renfrewshire Council, in a sealed envelope and with your son/daughter’s name written clearly on the envelope).
Please note: not all students need to attend to collect their kit. Students have already split into tent groups – three students to each tent. Therefore, one student (and parent/carer) could collect all the kit necessary for the three students in their tent; they would just need to have each of the deposits from all three students.
Practice Expedition – Thurs & Fri 5th & 6th Sept.
Can I ask that all students pay the £35 cost of their practice expedition by 2nd September. This should be done through ParentPay. Thank You.
All DOFE students should arrive at school by 8.45am on Thursday, 5th September. Students should have a substantial breakfast, have their rucksacks all packed and be suitably dressed ready for a day of walking/hiking. We will leave Barrhead by 9am and arrive in Strathaven by 10.30am.

- DOFE KIT List: Students may find the following Kit List useful, although you DO NOT need everything that is on this list.
