Clothing List

Thank you to everyone for showing up last night - I'm sure the singing will improve with practice.

Below is the clothing list from last night's presentation.

Supplied at next information session:
2 x Polo shirts
1 x Tour Bag and Back pack

What you need to bring from home:
Work Clothes
  • Waterproof Jacket - as light weight as possible
  • 3 x work shorts
  • 3 x work shirts (a box of walkathon shirts will be available at next session)
  • Old pair of joggers and old socks
  • Old Hat
Be prepared to throw these items of clothing away before we leave to travel home.

Casual Clothes
  • 3 or 4 sets of casual clothing (all shorts/skirts and dresses must be mid thigh length or longer - no mid drift tops)
  • Casual shoes
  • Pyjamas and underwear
  • Jeans or long pants for church
  • Light jumper for plane
  • Toiletries
  • Hat
  • Sunscreen and inspect repellent
Remember to bring at least 5 containers and the decorations/glue/pens to make a customised homemade dry box.  Each dry box will need a stocking filled with rice in the bottom of them.  If you have some old stocking socks they would be perfect once we cut and tie them off. Other items to bring - small containers of toothpaste, and for souvenirs clip-on Koala's are always popular along with rulers, pencils etc.  Remember there are around 100 students at the school so buy lots of little things rather than one big item.

Next information session is Monday 8th September 4.30pm in McElligott Theatre.

A friendly reminder that our first information session is this Wednesday 20/8 commencing 4.30pm in McElligott Theatre located just off the main entrance to the college. 

Mr McDonald will lead the information session and answer any questions you may have regarding the trip. I will also be on hand if you wish to ask me any questions or have any minor medical concerns. All information or questions regarding immunisation or any other medication should be directed to your family doctor. 

Make sure you bring your singing voices we have songs with actions to learn! 

To help with communication we also have a twitter account @bldacrossbordrs and an email address buildingacrossborders@gmail.com.  WiFi connection can be a little unreliable at times so try everything if you need to contact us. 

See you Wednesday!
