Expectations I will attend all meals; If I suspect my friends are not eating enough I will let a member of staff know. Sports tours are physically demanding and pupils will need energy if they are to get the most out of the trip. I will participate in all the extra activities. You will not be able to remain in your room on your own. I will behave sensibly at all times, you are representing yourself, your school and your country. I will be courteous to all members of staff, other pupils and people met whilst on the tour. I will look after all the equipment I am given and for safety reasons only use the equipment I have been given. Respect each others belongings.
