Information Evening for World Challenge Cancelled for Today
Dear Parents,
The information evening for World Challenge for today has been cancelled. We will be sending out an information booklet with the details shortly. Your child has been notified and should make their way home after school as normal.
Thank you, Miss Jennifer.
Dear Parent/Guardian,
World Challenge expedition to Nepal June 2017 – Parent information evening invitation – 19th October
We are excited to be able to offer our Sixth Formers the opportunity to take part in a World Challenge expedition in June 2017. The expedition experience will allow students to do something really unique that will make them stand out from the crowd. It will provide them with a wealth of new skills which they will find invaluable for their success in school, at university and in the world of work.
“World Challenge aims to support and facilitate the development of young adults through life changing experiences. In providing a safe environment for students of school age to explore the limits of their comfort zone allows them to grow in confidence and resourcefulness, both of which are key qualities to help build successful and fulfilling lives.”
World Challenge has provided us with the following proposal:
10 day expedition to Nepal in June 2017. These dates should fall after the completion of all Edexcel and Cambridge AS examinations and will be confirmed once deposits have been received. Activities during the expedition students will include visit to Kathmandu, carrying out project work in a school or local community, trekking in the Helambu region of the Himalayas and conclude with white water rafting.
The World Challenge all-inclusive cost for the expedition is $2,530.00. Excluded from the cost are visas, vaccinations, insurance of personal items and pocket money.
As a school, we are fully aware of the current financial pressures on families, but we also feel that this is such a valuable experience for our students. World Challenge encourages the students to raise the money themselves and we will support student-led fundraising initiatives such as organising events, making/selling goods or even getting a summer job. However much we would like students to raise at least half of the cost themselves, we have to assume that the full amount will be paid by parents.
In order to initiate the booking process and to secure your child a place on the trip World Challenge requests a deposit of $730.00 by 9th November (world challenge wants deposit by Nov 2nd but we are still in half term)
Please fill in the slip below to express your child’s interest and your support. You are invited to the expedition information evening, on Wednesday 19th October where you will have the opportunity to ask questions and hear all about the amazing challenges that your child will have the chance to experience.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me or visit the World Challenge website: www.world-challenge.ae.
Yours sincerely,
Chantal Dunand Clarke
Leadership Programme Coordinator
