Policy for Overseas Trips

School Cancellation and Postponement Policy
The school reserves the right to cancel and/or postpone a
trip if students' safety or well-being would be affected. This
situation may happen due to haze, civil unrest, or other
political and social factors at the destination that would
pose a potential threat to the safety and well-being of our
students and staff. School's decision on cancellation
and/or postponement may be made even if there is no
travel advisory from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs against
travelling to a particular destination. School's decision is
based on our independent risk assessment of the situation
based on available facts.

Policy for Overseas Trips

Refunding of Deposit
Should school cancel a trip, payment made to the
travel agent is not refundable. Similarly, should a trip
be postponed to another date due to the same
reasons, pupils who are unable to make it on the
rescheduled date will also not get a refund.

How do teachers ensure safety of the children

at crowded places?

A:

Rest assured that Safety and Security of our

children is our top priority.
1) There are 6 adults taking care of this group
of 33 pupils.
2) The teacher to pupil ratio is 1:8.
3) We will walk in the small groups and the
pupils will follow teacher ic very closely.
4) Pupils will also have to observe all safety
rules set and stay with the group at all times.

FAQ
Q:

What happens when a child falls sick?

A:

Two bottles of mineral water will be given to students

everyday and teachers will ensure students are kept well
hydrated to prevent them from falling sick.

Should a child falls ill,

1) One teacher will stay behind to look after the sick child in the
hotel.
2) School leaders and parents will be informed immediately and
will be updated of the development of the situation.
3) If the child is seriously ill, he/she will be brought to the nearest
clinic or hospital.
4) Parents will be notified and permission will be sought before any
action is taken.

FAQ
Q:

When is a good time to call my child?

A:

On Day 1 when we arrive, we will find out from

hotel the availability of wifi, password etc and
guide the children to contact you first using hotel
wifi. They will inform you of the subsequent
arrangements for phone calls.

Important Notes for Parents

Booklet provides more detailed information. Please
go through it together with your child to better
prepare your child for the trip.

2) You may get your child to bring an item such as a

soft toy or family photo to help your child cope with
missing home.
3) The trip is a good learning experience for the child
to learn about resilience and independence.

Important Notes for Parents
