2. Organization

The Schools take sole responsibility for organizing school outings and trips.

For outings, the Directorate gives its agreement to the teacher’s proposal. For preparation purposes it is necessary:

• to make inquiries about the legal rules for the organization of school outings.
• to inform the parents beforehand.

After seeking the opinion of the Education Committee, the Directorate decides on the arrangements for school trips. In the preparatory plan for the organization of a trip, it is necessary:

• to arrange for a coordinator to be designated for each residential trip.
• to make inquiries about the legal rules for the organization of school trips in the host country.
•  for meetings to be held between the teachers and the coordinator.
• to visit the site chosen beforehand.
• to inform the parents beforehand.
• to plan a detailed day by day timetable.

Pupils should not be precluded from going on trips for financial reasons.
Weekends may be used for departures and returns.

Families should be notified sufficiently early to enable them to meet the expected costs. With regard to payment for residential trips, the School ensures that parents are informed well in advance and requests that payment be made prior to departure.
