Rules • It is important that everyone enjoys their trip. It is even more important that everyone is safe. • So, we need everyone to follow these simple rules: • Any instruction given by a member of staff must be followed without question. • When a member of staff is giving instructions all students must be silent immediately – this is especially important at airports and ‘in the field’. • There is no alcohol – the good stuff is too expensive and the drinking culture is very different • No smoking – it’s like a school day!!!
Any questions? • Hoodies…
