Saturday 8th February to Saturday 15th February 2020
⚫ Firstly thank you to everyone for the prompt payments
and return of paperwork.
⚫ Any outstanding paperwork or payments are noted on
the inside of your pack. Please see Mrs Chamberlain at the end of this meeting if you have any further questions regarding this.
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!
