Saturday 9th February to Saturday 16th February 2019
⚫ Firstly thank you to everyone for the prompt payments
and return of paperwork.
⚫ Any outstanding paperwork is noted on the front of your
meeting to discuss what aspects are missing.
We hope that all students return from the trip having had a thoroughly enjoyable experience, with memories that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. GCSE PE students can gain a mark and video evidence that could go towards their final practical grade. We also hope that our students embrace the Italian culture, enjoy their “independence”, experience “life before mobile phones” and of course, develop the “life skill” of skiing!
