  14. What happens if I smoke, drink or take drugs? Parents will be asked to come and collect you. There will be BIG trouble!

  15. What happens … … in cases of illness or homesickness? This is what Tutors are for. Students have been told to talk to one of us and we’ll sort it out. It’s rarely as bad as it seems at the time. In the event of an emergency, parents will be informed as soon a possible.

  16. Who will look after money, cameras etc? The students will – teachers will only be responsible for passports. Money –please do not give your child too much. They will only waste it or lose it. 250 RMB is more than enough. All food is provided. Cameras (as with money) are the child’s own responsibility. *Do not rely on the camera on the phone to take photos – remember, phones will be left in the hotel safe for most of the time.

  17. Yangshuo town centre • Although tempting, students may not buy: • Knives • Slingshots • Weapons of any description- even fake or souvenir ones • Fireworks • If students buy them they will be confiscated and thrown away – they will not be able to take them home and there will be appropriate consequences.

  18. What about people I don’t know wanting to talk to me? • Be polite - but if anyone asks you to go anywhere with them, leave immediately and tell the nearest teacher. • Always stay in a group of three –never wander away on your own and don’t let others do it either.

  19. Anxious Parents • Please try not to be. It is a very safe trip and we want to instill a sense of confidence and independence in the students. Please try not to pass on any worries you may have to your children. • Tell them it will be fun, challenging and an adventure! They will enjoy it more, knowing that you are not worried about them. • Please don’t ring them or text – they will ring you one evening if they want to.

  20. Manners • Don’t leave these at home! • Make sure you thank all staff. • Be respectful of everyone – we are all doing activities that are new to us. • Patience will be needed from everyone…
