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…
