Dear Parent/Guardian
Spanish Exchange Trip to London, British Museum and Sightseeing
Thursday 6 July 2017
Our Spanish exchange students will be visiting London on Thursday 6 July. Oaklands’ students hosting or being a buddy will have the opportunity to attend this trip. Numbers are limited so we will hold a ballot if the trip is oversubscribed.
We will travel to Havant train station by school minibus. We will meet at the canteen at 8.50am. We expect to return to Havant train station at 7.00pm. Students will not be required to wear school uniform on this trip, but they will be expected to dress appropriately. The weather in July could be very warm, so please ensure your child has plenty of water and adequate protection from the sun. Equally, if the forecast is set to be wet, please ensure appropriate clothing is worn. Students will need to bring a packed lunch with them along with a drink.
The cost of the trip is £21.00. As this trip is deemed to be an enhancement to the curriculum, the school normally is unable to offer financial assistance and therefore the full cost of the activity must be borne by yourselves. Payments and accompanying paperwork must be handed in on or before the deadline date specified to avoid jeopardising your child’s place on the trip/activity. Should your child withdraw from the activity, please be aware if a deposit is required that this will be non-refundable and any further payments can only be refunded if the place can be filled by another student on a waiting list, or if the withdrawal is for an insurable reason. If there are significant changes to the cost of the trip, these may have to be passed on to the student. Be assured that we will try to keep such costs to a minimum.
We would advise that students do not to take valuables out on school activities, however, should they be taken parents should ensure personal possessions are adequately insured. It is the parent’s/guardian’s responsibility to update the school should there be any changes to the medical information about their child. Please communicate these to Mrs Brettell, Business Support Manager.
Please complete and return the consent form and monies (cheques made payable to Oaklands Catholic School) to the Finance Office by return. Alternatively, you can pay online.
Yours sincerely
Teacher
HOD/Activity Leader etc
