9 Refreshments There will be frequent refreshment stops en route but please be aware that motorway services can be expensive. We recommend pupils carry some snacks and drinks with them.

10 They will need some sterling and euros for the outward journey through Britain. Pocket money will be distributed when we reach La Fosca. At service stations and on the ferry the pupils will be informed where to find staff but will generally be unsupervised.

11 Luggage Luggage should be kept to a minimum. Please ensure that all luggage is clearly labelled. You should label clothing as well. Pupils should be able to lift their own luggage.

12 One suitcase or holdall should be used for main luggage and a small rucksack for the journey and for use during the activities. Please remember there will be no access to main luggage on the journey. Sleeping Bags should be placed in the luggage area of the coach and should not be taken inside.

24 Behaviour & Discipline We expect the highest standard of behaviour from pupils at all times. The trip will be much more enjoyable if pupils enter the spirit of the trip from the start. Bus Behaviour must be mature and respectful to all.

25 Party members should; Act in a responsible manner and not behave in a way likely to cause offence to other people or damage to property. Not smoke. It is a school trip and usual school rules apply. Not consume alcohol.

26 Not use drugs Not drop litter, spit, and use offensive or insulting language or threatening behaviour. Theft or illegal activities will be reported to the authorities. Not purchase cigarettes, lighters, knives for presents.

27 Sanctions will be imposed if rules are breached. These may include exclusion from daytime or evening activities. In extreme circumstances pupils will be sent home. The Rector will decide if sending home is required. A member of staff will accompany the pupil and both airfares will be borne by the parents. The member of staff would then fly back at the parents expense to rejoin the group.

28 Medication All medication should be handed to staff before departure on the coach. It should be clearly labelled with name, dosage, timing of dosage and time of last dose. Include as much information as possible. (E.g. Penicillin – one tablet three times daily before food) Please try to pack any medication as small as possible by decanting into small clearly labelled plastic bags.

29 Staff will carry a stock of paracetamol and Ibuprofen. You are advised to consult your doctor before indicating which you will allow your child to be given. Asthmatics should carry their own inhaler. An additional one should be supplied for staff to carry.

30 Any amendments to this information should be provided in writing at time of departure. Please ensure pupils take travel sickness medication well before they travel.

31 We insist that staff dispense all medication being taken by your child during the trip. This applies to paracetamol for headaches, travel sickness pills or other medication.
