Hillary Gear List

Hey Seniors,

This time next week we will have finished our first day of activities!!!

The list below is above and beyond what Hillary outdoors has asked you to bring. I have emailed your parents a few other pieces of information, however please read this carefully. I will stop adding to the list on Wednesday.

Saturday night:
We will be staying in hamilton. I dont want to get big bags out so in a small pack have everything you need for that night, including sleeping bag.

Gear:
2x coat hangers
Head Torch
Pen and Highlighter
2x black rubbish bag
Jandals for showers
Snacks- Baking required (Brownie, Lollie Slice, Tanias Slice), if there is any specific stuff you want then you must bring it. Remember that Hillary outdoors gives lots of food for the expidetition and if you dont eat it then you will be carrying it, so I can understand multi sport food but think carefully about the expedition. New World is providing fruit, up and go, replace, baking and museli bars.

Well done to everyone who participated in what was another fabulous event run by the team at ARC. It is always a worthwhile and exciting course that they put together and this year did not disappoint. Everyone got alot out of this weekend. A good place to see where you are at individually but also where you are placed within the team.

A huge congrats to Loche, Zoe and Crum who took out the schools division for the 8 hour section. Sounds like it was a photo finish, and I hope someone got a picture of it. Welldone, super proud of you all.

Thank you to the parents who went along for the ride and to Callum. Also a huge thanks to Regent New World for fueling our teams over the finish line. Hopefully I will get some photos coming in soon.
