Pineapple Studios and London Theatre Trip

Thursday 16 July 2015

As part of the GCSE dance course the students have an exciting opportunity to experience London Pineapple Studios and to watch ‘Billy Elliott’ the musical. This trip is not compulsory but would be a very valued experience. We will be meeting at Havant train station on Thursday 16th July promptly at 0830 to be departing at 08.40. We will arrive in London at approximately 10.15. At 11 o’clock we have a private dance workshop for an hour by a choreographer at Pineapple Dance Studios. Students will need a maximum of ten pounds spending money if they wish to buy food on the trip. After lunch we will arrive at the Victoria Palace Theatre to watch the performance ‘Billy Elliott’. We will be departing London at 18.15. Students will need to be collected at Havant train station by 19.45.

There are 16 places available and the cost of the trip is £67.00.

Payments and accompanying paperwork must be handed in on or before the deadline date outlined 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

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 Officeby Thursday 9 July 2015. Alternatively you can pay online.
