Expectations of pupils • All pupils participating in this trip have been allocated a place on the basis of their previous good behaviour and attitude in school. • It is expected that this good behaviour will continue on the trip and that pupils will represent PGS well. • There is a Code of Conduct which outlines expected behaviour in relation to the journey, the hotel and on day trips. • Any problems of indiscipline or failure to comply with the Code of Conduct may result in pupils being removed from day trips. • Please read the Code of Conduct with your son/daughter and sign and return the Agreement attached by the end of this week.

  24. 6. Code of Conduct Agreement Please read the code of conduct agreement and discuss it with your son/daughter. Please sign the agreement and return to Miss Donnelly in room C18 by the end of this week.

  26. 8. Insurance Included in the cost of this trip is basic travel insurance, covering things such as hospital expenses, flight delays, lost luggage. This insurance does NOT cover the loss of personal items such as mobile phones, cameras, ipods during the trip.
