The JBS Ski Trip - Easter 2013

Update 26th Feb 2013

Letters will soon be sent to parents with confirmed details for 22nd March 2013 - Departure day

Please also be aware that your son or daughter needs to bring into school their passport and EHIC card so they can be photo copied and securely stored. This will happen on the morning of March 18th in PDT.



Update 7th Feb 2013

Hoodies have arrived and have been issued to every student. Details to follow soon about departure times and plans for departure day on 22nd March

Update - 19th Dec 2012

On the last night of each ski trip we try to hold a fancy dress evening within the hotel or local town. This year’s theme will be ‘cowboys and Indians’. Please pass this message onto your son or daughter.

We have also had an update concerning the spa evening at the Bormio spa which will involve sauna’s, Jacuzzis, steams rooms, a large pool and other treatments; all students (and teachers) are required to wear a swimming hat. I have therefore purchased enough hats for each student, which they may wish to personalise once we are in Italy. Students though may wish to bring their own swimming hat. Students are required to bring normal swimming kit for this evening activity and do not have to wear specific clothing like a swim suit or speedos. 

Below is a reminder of key dates for your diary that was sent out on the previous letter.
Friday 18th January 2013 – This is the final payment deadline for the 2013 trip. If you are unable to meet this deadline, again please do not hesitate to contact me at school. 
Friday 1st March 2013 –The provisional date for ski hoodies to be distributed to pupils. Hoodies have been ordered and personalised.
Monday 18th March 2013 – all passports and EHIC cards to be handed into school for photocopying and storage. Please place the passport and EHIC in a sealed, named envelope.
Friday 22nd March 2013 – Departure day. A provisional departure time of 1.30pm has been set, which will be confirmed in the New Year. Pupils tend to leave school at break time to spend time at home preparing for the journey.

Ski 2013 Italy update

The trip opened on the 12th March with 40 places available. These places were taken in a record 12 days. Another 7 places were made available and have also been taken.

We are now currently holding a reserve list, which 3 students are now on.

Please hand in your reply slip (without the deposit) or see Mr Ferguson if you would like your name placed on the reserve list. There maybe a possibility that further paces will become available when we communicate with our ski company after the Easter term.
