China Trip Meeting 2013

Hello everyone!

We had a very disappointing turnout at the China meeting today, only 13 out of 33 turned up!

I asked those who attended to give me their preferred T-shirt size. I need to know all T-shirts sizes ASAP (S? M? L?). If you did not attend the meeting today you need to get this information to me ASAP!

Please remember that attendance is essential, we need to have regular meetings in order to share important information and updates. Meetings will be every Tuesday at 1:15 in W20 and an attendance record will be kept.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS & STUDENTS!

1. Passports need to be brought in and photocopied by Friday 8th of March at the latest! Please check that your passport is valid. Please check that the passport meets the requirements for China.

2. Each student should hand their passport to their designated family group leader (these groups have only just been decided and the names will be put up in the display cabinet in the languages corridor from tomorrow, or students can ask me and I will tell them who their family leader is.

3. EE2 forms will be given out at our next lunchtime meeting (Tuesday 5th March!) to be signed & completed by parents/guardians and returned to the appropriate family leader no later than Friday 8th of March.

Please indicate on the form if there are any specific dietary requirements.

*TASK FOR NEXT MEETING:

FIND OUT 5 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA AND SHARE THEM AT OUR NEXT MEETING ON TUESDAY 5TH OF MARCH AT 1:15 IN W20.

China Trip Update

Hello everyone.
Our Tuesday lunchtime meetings will continue as normal for the time being, Please remember that attendance is essential.  We have not yet had 100% attendance at these meetings.
The meeting starts at 1:15 every Tuesday in W20.
At the next meeting I will be asking students to provide sizes for trip T-shirts that we are currently in the process of organising. The cost of this has been covered, but students can pay for additional T-shirts if they wish.
I will confirm the cost of these at the parent information evening in March.
I am also in the process of enquiring about visas and will update you in due course. It is my intention to try and organise a group visa as this will save you the trouble of having to organise it yourself.
Please note that the next payment of £260 is due in March!

More information to follow soon!

Parent Information Evening

Dear Parents/Carers,

Just in case your child missed the meeting yesterday and did not pick up a letter, I wanted to make you aware that I have scheduled an information evening for parents for Thursday 14^th of March. This will be an opportunity for you to find out more information about the trip and to meet the team of very experienced staff who will accompany the children to China. 

The meeting will start at 6:30pm and should last around 1 hour. A reminder will be handed out to students nearer the time, but please pencil this important date in your diaries.
