Dear Parent/Carer

Re: Ski Trip 2017

With our Ski Trip approaching I would like to remind you all of the following:-

  • All students are required to travel on their own passport to Austria. In order to ensure there are no delays upon departure, if you have not already done so, I would ask you to send in your son’s/daughter’s passport to school due today, Monday 6th March 2017. The passports will be held in the school safe until departure. Please also check the emergency contact details at the back of the passport have been completed.
  • Your son/daughter will need an EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) in order to travel. These are free. The application forms are available from any post office or apply on-line at websites will charge for these cards. Students cannot travel without this card.. Please check expiry date. This needs to be held with the passport in school.
  • Any items to hire orders from Sub 32 will be delivered to school week commencing 20th March,students will have the opportunity to try on the clothes to ensure they all fit. Sub 32 bring spare clothes in case they need a different size.

Please find on the reverse of this letter the itinerary and emergency contact details for the Ski trip.

Yours sincerely
