School Camps Including Overseas Travel Opportunities For Students In 2018.docx

School Camps including Overseas Travel opportunities for students in 2018 Students and Parents are invited to consider participation in one (or more) of the study tours proposed for 2018. The school is seeking expressions of interest in one or more of the tours, so that we can identify if there is sufficient demand to progress each tour to the next stage – holding information sessions, seeking deposits etc. If there is insufficient interest at this stage, the study tour to which this applies will not progress. We want all potential participants to be aware of the full range of possibilities when expressing interest. You are asked to consider the brief summary below and read the specific itineraries attached. Students can speak with the teachers identified with each tour who will be able to provide further information. Information sessions will be held during lunchtimes over the next two weeks for a number of the tours and students are encouraged to go along and ask questions when the sessions are held in order to find out more information about the various study tours. You are asked to indicate, on the form at the bottom, which one/s you would be definitely interested in hearing more about, including attending an Information Session. You also need to believe the family is able to pay the full costs and associated spending for the tour. You should note that students who participate in curriculum enhancement opportunities such as these are expected to have paid their Parent Contributions or be on a payment plan to do so.
