Passport & EHIC

School needs a copy of the student’s passports and European Health Insurance Card.

If you have not done so already could you please bring them in for photocopying ASAP.

To apply for an EHIC on behalf of a child, just include them as a dependant in the relevant section of the application and you'll each receive a separate EHIC. You can do this at www.ehic.org.uk

Students will hand in their passports to teachers at the start of the tour for safekeeping.

If you have any further questions regarding any part of the trip please don’t hesitate to contact us.

PRE - TOUR: Not Long Now!!

 

Hello!!

 

Welcome to the Malta Sports Tour 2013 blog, the aim of these posts are firstly to share information between school and home regarding the organisation of the tour, and secondly document what we hope will be one of the most memorable weeks of students school lives.

As we write this there are; 88 Days, 17 Hours, 37 Minutes and 32 Seconds until we leave!! Not long to go and still lots to do; kit to buy, training to undertake, bags to pack (at TESCO) before your own and much more...

Each day on tour we (teachers & students) will 'blog' on this site about the achievements of the sports teams and the fun we have been having.

 

If you need anymore information regarding any part of the tour then please dont hesitate contacting us at school.
