At Langtree School we pride ourselves on the variety and quality of trips and visits that we provide for our students.  Historically we have an exemplary record with regard to student behaviour, cooperation, conduct and manners. 

The ski trip has always been a flagship example of how well our students behave and each year we receive many complimentary comments from hotel and chalet staff, ski school instructors, other schools and local residents. 

Students and their parents/carers are required to read, agree to and sign a behaviour contract. Appropriate consequences for failing to adhere to the behavioural contract will be decided by the party leader. This may include, for example, an early curfew or, in extreme cases of inappropriate behaviour, the party leader contacting home. The  ultimate sanction would be to put the student on a flight home with an accompanying member of staff and send them back to the UK.  All costs involved will be passed on to parents. 

As our trips have always run smoothly we have never had to use this sanction.  However we ask that you speak to your son/daughter to ensure that he/she fully understands what is expected of them on this trip and appreciates the consequences of any inappropriate, dangerous or anti-social behaviour. Please read carefully, sign the declaration below and return to the school office.

We also request that you as a parent / carer give explicit permission for your child to travel on this ski trip - this is required as part of the travel insurance. This can be done at the end of the behaviour contract.

Thank you for your cooperation

Mr M. Vitty
