  • wellies or old trainers are needed for footwear as part of the fieldwork will involve studying the rocks in Marsden Bay which is a sandy beach.
  • aΒ packed lunch.
  • their school bag with regular school kit list inside. Most bags are not waterproof so we suggest putting kit inside a plastic bag inside the rucksack.

A packed lunch will be provided for students that have free school meals.
