First Aid Kit - What to pack

Welcome back to the PE girls.

We are finalising the visa applications and Mrs Jones is very keen to get these down to Brooker Travel this week. She will have been in touch if you still need to get something to her.


On Wednesday I am planning to look at what you would need in your own personal first aid kit. I will post a list on Thursday for those who are unable to attend.

As well we will look at general packing and what you should bring.

See you there - Room 112 at 6pm
