World Challenge Zambia 2013 Expeditions Update
Queens’ School has 3 World Challenge Teams heading off to Zambia for 30 day Expeditions this July.

All 3 teams have now completed their Training Expedition (held in December 2012) and should be meeting on a regular basis to discuss key expedition issues such as menu planning, itineraries, hygiene, fundraising, fitness, camp craft, visas, vaccinations and teamwork.

 

All Flight and Itinerary details are now available on the MyWorldChallenge website and I know everyone is now getting very excited as July rapidly approaches.

 

I am pleased to confirm the following dates of forthcoming meetings

 

1. Team Building Session for all Teams – Tuesday 12th March (times and venue tbc- likely 2:45 - 4:45pm sports hall / south side fields / outdoor classroom)

 

2. Parents’ Information Evening on Wednesday 24 April 2013 from 4.00pm - 7:00pm

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT EVERY CHALLENGER AND PARENT/GUARDIAN IS AT THIS MEETING. Parents / Guardians will join us from 6:00 – 7:00pm. Venue – Sixth Form Centre.

Each team will be accompanied by 2 School Leaders and 1 World Challenge Expedition Leader. The School Leaders are as follows

Team 1: Mrs Park and Mr Reynolds
Team 2: Miss Hillcoat and Mr Haines
Team 3: Miss Smith and Mr Michaelides
Challengers and Parents / Guardians will meet the Expedition Leaders on Wednesday 24 April 2013 .

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all challengers every success in their forthcoming examinations.
