The best thing to do is to create this trip as a Club. This then allows you to, send comms by selecting the "club" and report on this with Medical and contact information without having to pick out the students manually.
- Go to Workspace > Clubs (or Admin > Config > Clubs, depending on your access rights).
- Click Add a Club, input the trip name, the date of it, what years are going and any details you wish to record. Click "Next: Timetable".
- Click the day this trip is on and pop in a time, (this doesn't need to be completely accurate as this is just for reporting and comms).
- Assign a staff member to the trip and click Next.
- Tick the relevant boxes on the next page that comes up, you don't need to record any costs if you only need this for reporting and comms. Click Add Students.
- Click Add/Remove Students and assign all the relevant kids.
- Once the students are orange - they are saved in the club.
Now you can go to Reporting > Reports > Students (tab) > Clubs. Put in the date that you said the "club" started and under the "Display" options, tick "Extended Info". This will produce a report of all the students names/forms years/ as well as their Contact, Medical and Dietary Requirements.
You can also go to Admin > Comms click on "clubs" down the left hand side and choose your trip from here - this pulls through all the relevant contacts for this trip for you to easily send a SMS/Email to.
Treat as you would any other group for sms/email. The Add all function will populate the contacts window on the right hand side of your screen.
