Q:What do parents need to do for ‘SIS goes MaD’? A:Parents need to review carefully their children’s three choices, and to be sure that their children are capable of participating in each. For example, if they choose an activity that is physically demanding – are they able to endure the rigour? PLEASE be careful in the selection process. Parents are financially responsible for the trips that their children take on. Q:What are parents financial responsibilities? A:All ‘SIS goes MaD’ activities have been costed as well as possible. Final costs may change in some cases because, for example, airlines are unwilling to give firm prices well in advance. As sometimes happens in Asia, natural or political difficulties can lead to a decision to reroute a particular activity. It may be necessary to cancel an activity entirely, in which case alternative arrangements will be made. Whilst the school will do all that is possible to prevent any losses, parents do have to assume the financial risk involved with the Week. Neither SIS nor its travel agents guarantee to underwrite costs of activities cancelled for safety or other reasons. ‘SIS goes MaD’ Oct 2013 FAQsParents FAQsParents

This Cambodia service trip is based out of Siem Reap. While Siem Reap itself is a tourist hotspot, the group will work in remote villages to the north of the city, where the impact of tourism has not had the same effect on the economy and lives of the inhabitants. The project will be carefully chosen according to what best serves the community at the time – perhaps assisting in school classrooms with education and mentoring, or providing assistance with other needs such as refurbishing or rebuilding classrooms, physical work in the village, setting up libraries, or similar projects that are required at the time of visit. The opportunity to improve the lives of others and enhance education experiences in impoverished areas is an incredible privilege, and is guaranteed to be a life-changing experience. Students will come back from the trip with new friends, incredible memories and as more mature, socially aware global citizens. The value of the trip will reach into many parts of the students’ livers, and the cross-cultural relationships developed will be a source of happiness and inspiration for many years to come. The days are long and intense, and students will throw themselves into the project. Rather than being there to watch from the sidelines, they are to become actively involved in useful and life- changing projects in the community. This Cambodia service trip is based out of Siem Reap.

‘SIS goes MaD’ 2013 – Y8-10 GAS04 Malaysia: Wild Orangutan Adventure ‘SIS goes MaD’ 2013 – Y8-10 GAS04 Malaysia: Wild Orangutan Adventure The project site for WiLD Orangutan Adventure is part of the Corridor of Life and Wildlife Sanctuary along the Kinabatangan River. The project base is a picturesque little village situated on the banks of the 560km long river. The village is about 2 hours from Sandakan, a township at the mouth of the Kinabatangan River and is approximately 228km east of Kota Kinabalu, the state capital of Sabah. This programme focuses on the Corridor of Life project, a joint venture between the Sabah government and the WWF to replant a staggering 26,000 hectares of forest with the goal of connecting the existing patches into one long unbroken forest stretching along the river from the Heart of Borneo to the ocean on Sabah's east coast. Students are directly involved in planting and maintaining patches of this forest, where they will also be asked to make measurements of the saplings growth rates, valuable data which is passed on to WWF. Amongst other activities, students are also involved in spotting and recording wildlife from boats as they travel along the river, using GPS to record locations and data on the density and diversity patterns of wildlife along the river. Throughout the whole trip, emphasis is placed evenly across fun, experiential learning, and each student’s potential to make a personal impact on the future of the forests, wildlife and people of Sabah.

The Bas-Languedoc region is filled with Roman architecture, and has been a hugely important area historically ever since Roman times.
