Important points

The first day of travelling is long and tiring.

It is important that pupils sleep on the first evening as the following day will be very busy.

Pupils must keep to the designated paths and not wander off. There still is the danger of barbed wire and infection as well as unexploded bombs!!

Lights out must be observed and kept to.

Pupils will be sharing 3- 8 in a room.Listening to and following instructions

is very important.

This is a very interesting and rewarding trip from which we hope all involved will benefit.

Thank you for coming this evening and your attention.
