Your kids are going to have a wonderful time with us these holidays! We’ve got lots of
energetic, fun outdoor activities lined up so please make sure your child comes to us with
everything they’ll need each day:
Clothing: Make sure your child has appropriate clothing and footwear for the day’s weather

Party Time! (We always recommend sending younger children along with a change of clothes
in case.)

some activities e.g togs, towel and hat for Sand Castle Challenge; appropriate clothing and shoes
for some of the activities; and memory sticks for PhotoShop Lab and Computer Game Design.

time.

Our Sun Safe policy requires you to provide your child with his or her own named hat.
Transport arrangements – depending on the nature of the programme children may be transported by
chartered bus, catch a public bus, travel by taxi van or walk to their destination. Should your child need to be
transported from the site in an emergency situation, our Transport Policy will be adhered to by staff.

enjoyment of other programme participants or members of the general public, the child or children may be
withdrawn from the programme and the responsible parent/caregiver contacted to collect their child from the

given by staff. Parnell Trust has a zero tolerance policy against bullying. Staff will implement our Anti-Bullying
