Year 5 and Year 6 sponsored excursion to Royal Far West - Manly

Royal Far West have sponsored the Cobargo PS, 5/6 students, to attend four days at their Centre in Manly. All costs are covered including transport by bus, accommodation for three nights and all food. Cobargo P&C will cover costs for daily activities including a ferry ride, Hyde Park Barracks and the Manly Aquatic Centre.

This is an exceptional opportunity for our students and was a donation after the bushfires, but has only been available this year due to the pandemic.

Students are required to complete a RAT kit on the morning of travel. If students test positive for COVID-19 whilst they are on the excursion a parent or carer will need to pick them up from the accommodation.

Royal Far West is an Australian charity based in Manly, New South Wales, that connects Australian country children to the developmental care they need. Founded in 1924 by Methodist missionary Reverend Stanley Drummond from Cobar, today Royal Far West works in partnership with families, schools, healthcare providers, local government and community groups, offering health, education and disability services for country children and their families at its Centre for Country Kids in Manly, as well as virtually via Telecare and in local rural and remote communities. The charity's mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people who live in rural and remote communities. Royal Far West's Centre for Country Kids opened in December 2018. This purpose-built, state-of-the-art facility integrates specialist paediatric services with the Royal Far West Department of Education School, enabling the charity to support and strengthen the resilience and wellbeing of children and families in Australia's rural communities.
