Once again we are offering Ski Trips to Mount Hutt in 2024. We have 5 days in term 3 pencilled in at this stage. Trips will only go ahead if we have enough students to make them financially viable. This means spaces are limited to 40 students and their parents on each trip.
As with most things at the moment the costs have risen and Mount Hutt has increased the price of the student package in 2024. The bus company has also increased their price. This means each day trip will need to be charged at $150 per participant. This breaks down to $100 for the Mount Hutt package and $50 for Travel and expenses.
This notice is to notify the community of the days available as well as the terms and conditions of signing up.
- To sign up, parents and whanau must complete the google form for the specific date their child wishes to attend. Links to the forms are embedded in each date.
- Places will only be secured once a $50 deposit (per person travelling) has been paid.
- Trips will be limited to 40 participants.
- Trips need to be paid in full two weeks beforehand so that we can commit to Mount Hutt and Ritchies.
- Charges will be refunded if Ao Tahiti or Mount Hutt need to cancel. This will be done at least 2 days before the trip is scheduled.
- Students and support persons $50 deposits are NON REFUNDABLE. This is due to the school being charged a cancellation fee by Mount Hutt and the bus company. This is new this year so please be aware.
- The package includes, travel, ski pass, 1-2hr lesson, boots and skis / board. It does not include clothing. Mount Hutt does rent clothing at an extra charge.
- The ski package is an all or nothing deal. This means we get no reduction if students have their own gear or don’t want a lesson for example.
- Students or parents can pay just the Travel cost ($50) if they have everything they need for the day. They need both gear and a pass. They will not be able to have a lesson though.
- Students in years 1-6 will need a parent helper on the day. Parents can help more than one student and they can take other people’s children.
- Parents can just travel and support their child without skiing. They will still need to pay the travel cost of $50.
Students can now be signed up for the following dates:
Ski Trip Friday September 13th
Ski Trip Wednesday September 25th
