Dear Parents\/Carers,<\/p>\n
The children in Primary 7 will bring home information and a consent form today for the Primary 7 Outdoor Education Programme run by North Lanarkshire Council at Palacerigg Country Park.<\/p>\n
Our allocated week is\u00a029 September to 2 October<\/strong>, which is a four-day week. As a result, there is a reduced cost for the programme (the usual cost is \u00a3125). Please refer to the letter\/consent form that has been sent home with the children today.\u00a0 There is also a flyer which is too rich a document to send via mail – I will try to put this onto the school website where a copy of this will go.<\/p>\n Pupil Letter Consent Form – 2026-2027<\/a><\/p>\n Final – Outdoor Education booklet (002)<\/a><\/p>\n As in previous years, the School Fund will help to subsidise the cost for each child, bringing the overall cost down to\u00a0\u00a390 per pupil<\/strong>. This does not need to be paid before 29 September and, as outlined in the information and consent form, payments can be made over the coming months.<\/p>\n I would also like to reassure you that if the cost presents any difficulty for your family, please do not hesitate to contact either myself or Mr Deighan. We do not want cost to be a barrier to any child experiencing this valuable outdoor learning opportunity.<\/p>\n Our allocated week is much earlier this session than usual, so hopefully the good weather stays with us a little longer!<\/p>\n Danny McPhelim from the Outdoor Education Team will meet with pupils via a Teams call during the week before they attend. This will give children an opportunity to find out more about the activities and ask any questions they may have.<\/p>\n Children will attend and be dismissed from school as normal each day and will travel to and from Palacerigg by bus. They should bring:<\/p>\n Children may bring their own waterproofs, wellington boots and outdoor clothing if they wish, although these can also be provided. We ask that children wear their PE t-shirt along with their school jumper or cardigan and suitable outdoor clothing. I have also suggested to the children that they wear older clothes rather than new items, as they are likely to get muddy during activities.<\/p>\n This is a fantastic opportunity for all Primary 7 pupils and is often one of the highlights of their final year at primary school. We will provide any further information closer to the time.<\/p>\n Kindest regards,<\/p>\n Miss McLelland Dear Parents\/Carers, The children in Primary 7 will bring home information and a consent form today for the Primary 7 Outdoor Education Programme run by North Lanarkshire Council at Palacerigg Country Park.
