Highgate Wood School SPAIN SPORTSTOUR MAY 26TH- 30TH 2014 Mr Adams
WHERE WILL WE BE? We will be staying in the coastal resort of Platja D’aro, Northern Spain. Approximately 1hr from Barcelona
Where are we are staying? The hotel we are staying at is the ComtatSant Jordi, within the town of PlatjaD’aro. The hotel is Full Board, and the room share is 4 per room for the boys and 1x 3 bedroom and 1x2 bedroom for the girls.
Surrounding area and beach. We are here!
Sporting Facilities Just like the picture, most of the football pitches are like the school 3G Football pitch. If we play on grass it will be slightly harder than a UK pitch. All the netball games and fixtures are played indoors, in a leisure centre. The boys football fixtures will be in the evening. The girls netball fixtures will during the day.
Evening Entertainment - TBC I am in the process of trying to organise evening entertainment with the other UK school who will also be in our area. This will be done without incurring any additional expense.
Day THREE Barcelona and Camp Nou excursion.
Day FOUR WaterWorld – lloret De Mar
Expected Behaviour when in Spain Respectful to each other, members of staff and Spanish locals. This includes the football/netball opposition! Following instructions from members of staff the first time. Students are expected to be in their rooms, lights off and no noise before 10:30pm. You must always stay in a minimum group of 4 at all times. You can bring a mobile phone but this will be at your own risk and not included in the schools insurance. No mobile phones are to be seen during breakfast, lunch or dinner. The school recommends no phones or expensive electrical equipment is brought on the sports tour.

Absolute unacceptable behaviour Anything negative which occurs over in Spain will be dealt with back at school using the schools disciplinary policy. Any serious offences which put at risk the health and safety of the students or staff will face the possibility of being sent back home. Parents will incur the cost of the flights.
