Mt Robert Tramp

PLEASE NOTE; - YOUR GEAR MUST BE SUITABLE FOR AN ALPINE TRAMP.  A PUFFER JACKET DOES NOT COUNT AS A WET WEATHER JACKET.  THIS SHOULD BE A WATERPROOF LAYER WITH A HOOD.  YOUR BACKPACK MUST BE STURDY ENOUGH TO CARRY YOUR SUPPLIES.  ALL GEAR WILL BE CHECKED ON THE MORNING OF DEPARTURE.  FOR SAFETY REASONS STUDENTS WITH INADEQUATE GEAR WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO COME ON THE TRAMP

Gear
It is really important that the students have adequate clothing for the tramp and we have included a gear list to give them plenty of time to organise themselves.  We will not be taking students who do not have the correct gear.  It is also our expectation that all parents are well equipped. 
Day pack - this needs to be a small back pack ( school use back packs are fine)
Wear sturdy shoes/sneakers and socks ( no jandals, sandals, ballet flats or other thin soled shoes)
          shorts or suitable pants to be walking in
          t shirt
spare pair of socks
Also bring polypro long sleeve top
                   polar fleece
                   wet weather jacket
