Learning French with Laurence

A HUGE BIG THANK YOU TO LAURENCE SLOOT, who has kindly donated her services to assist in our fundraising. She is teaching French to a small group of very avid learners who would like to converse in the language or at least be able to ask questions and form sentences when travelling. We had a great time last Tuesday afternoon trying to perfect our pronunciation of some basic French words, even though our tongues got in the way! Its always a pleasure to listen to Laurence's beautiful French accent!

Information forms and 2nd Payment Instalment now due

Student and adult travellers should have returned their information forms this first week back at school. These forms were included in the blue tour folders given out at the last information evening.
These forms include:

• Gulliver's Travel Passenger information
• DET traveller information including travel insurance, medical advice and emergency contacts
• Signed Student contract

The following photocopies are also required with the information forms:

• Current Passport
• Travel Insurance Certificate

Along with the paperwork, the 2nd payment instalment is now due if you are paying through the school. Those families paying direct to Gulliver's Travel will need to follow their payment instalment system.
