  18. Coach Company Executive 49 seater coach with trailer for the instruments We used this coach company for our Italy tour in 2010 – we know what we're getting!

  19. And now – time for a Joke.... WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COACH AND A PLANE? ?

  20. Answer... THE SIZE OF YOUR SUITCASE!!

  21. This is designed for 1 x medium sized suitcase per person...

  22. INSURANCE…. Health and Travel Insurance is all covered in the cost…

  23. Important issues… The journey is long. Please bring sufficient food and drink for the journey. We cannot guarantee that over night food stops will suffice. Please do not rely on money alone for the journey. Students will need food and drink at various points along the way.

  24. Important issues… All five members of teaching staff will have a first aid kit on them throughout the entire trip. All staff will be in contact with each other during the entire trip. All staff will have all students’ mobile numbers Emergency procedures

  25. Important issues… Spending Money Students should not need more than ₤15.00 per day. Students may want to take between ₤100 and ₤130. (Euro conversion is approximately 118 to 160 Euros)

  26. Important issues… Planning for the temperature The weather will (we hope!) be around 29 degrees… • Sun Protection • Sun glasses • Clothing to suit the temperature *(allowing for one day of rain)

  27. Important issues… Travel sickness pills… We’re traveling by ferry and coach. Please plan for any likely travel Scenarios.

  28. Important issues… International plug adaptor + + Any big tesco or Boots

  29. Important issues… Rooms (who’s with who?) This week, all students will be given this slip…

  30. Important issues… Respect Your child is representing the school in Spain: • School rules apply • Following instructions is of vital importance • Contact will not be made home unless it is deemed necessary (but, if it is necessary it will happen)

  31. Important issues… Rehearsing / learning Lyrics etc • Every student in the choir has a lyrics pack and CD. • Chris says he’s happy with the pans bands that are practicing for Spain (But asks for students to now go ‘up a gear’)

  32. CHOIR.... Standards .... LEARN YOUR LYRICS BY MEMORY (ALL SONGS....) ... We’re not there yet! Don't underestimate the practice needed to become familiar with all your harmonies (Over the rainbow...) Projection .... STILL NOT LOUD ENOUGH Let’s raise the bar now please....

  33. This is why we can set up a steel pans, choir and soloists concert within one hour....

  34. Ultimate top tip for parents / carers....

  35. Note to parents / carers The last payment date was 30th May

  36. Thank you Saturday 6th July .... 2:30pm.... “Feels like I should be somewhere” If you haven’t yet handed in your final letter response, please do so ASAP. This PowerPoint Presentation Will be on the school website tomorrow
