Our High School Global Citizenship Week is fast approaching, with our first groups scheduled to depart from ISB in just two weeks! This enews contains a few reminders and important links for our HS trips.
Visa’s & Passports
By now any visa’s required for overseas trips should be in process or completed. If there are any queries on whether a visa is required for your specific country, please feel free to contact Khun Pat, in the HS office or please contact the teacher sponsor for your trip.
Please also double check that your child’s passport has more than 6 months validity on it for any trip travelling internationally. We have checked passports submitted, but we ask that you take this additional step to ensure the smooth travel of your child.
Medication & Health Information
If your child is taking routine medication they will be required to turn in a ‘Field Trip Medication Consent Form’ which is found at this link. These forms need to be turned into the ISB Medical Clinic at least a week before your child departs.
For some trips there are recommended vaccinations that are required, these will have been communicated by the trip leader, however for a detailed summary of recommended health considerations that are specific to each trip, please refer to this document.
Special Clothing and Equipment.
If your child is attending a trip that has a cooler environment or that requires special equipment, please ensure these are purchased well before your departure as your child may be required to bring these to be checked in their final GCW meeting on February 5.
GCW Information Website & Communication
Your GCW lead teacher will be emailing you by next Friday with more information specific to your child’s trip. Please also find the GCW information site that is shared with parents and students at this link.
Any other questions?
If you have any further questions regarding your child’s course, please first contact the sponsor of your child’s course. There will also be a short feature on GCW at the upcoming PTA meeting, which is taking place on Wednesday Febryary 6th at 6.30pm.
We look forward to this amazing week and the many experiences our students will encounter in their course!
