Booking buses
Please consider the following when booking buses:
- What is their cancellation policy? We recommend booking with a company that allows schools to cancel on the morning of the excursion without penalty. It is disappointing if you have had to cancel one, two or three days ahead based on a forecast, and wake up to a beautiful day.
- Will the bus be staying at the venue all day or leaving and returning? This is helpful information when making a decision based on the weather.
- Ensure you confirm times for drop off and pick up from locations with the driver on the day
Earth-friendly lunches
Encourage students to bring an earth-friendly lunch. This could inlcude:
- sandwiches wrapped in grease-proof paper
- fresh fruit, it comes with its own compostable packaging
- biscuits or cake in a paper bag that can be composted
- a drink in a reusable container
- popper containers will be collected for recycling with Earn and Return program
Fruit scraps will be collected for the worm farm and compost.
