2018 France Study Tour
2018 France Study Tour- REMINDER
Info Night – Monday, 11 September
(Lyceum 6pm)
Just a reminder to students and families who are interested in knowing more about the 2018 MGC French Trip, there is an information meeting next Monday in the Lyceum at 6pm. Many families have already expressed interest – merci! But if you’d like to know more or your daughter is interested in a going, then please come along or send in your expression of interest.
During the last week of term 3 2018 and the first week of the term holidays, the girls will spend a week in Paris (Note the tour is still subject to DET Risk Assessment and School Council approval) and the second week in Montpelier in a Homestay environment with language schooling to give the girls a day-to-day experience of living in a French family (and sharing this special time with their chosen MGC buddy).
Expression of interest:
If your family is interested in knowing more and would like to attend an information evening session on Monday 11 September at 6pm in the Lyceum then please register your interest by email detailing your daughter’s name/year level (see below).
Key facts:
- We are looking ideally at a group of around 25 with 3 supervising teachers accompanying the group
- Final numbers will be determined by demand and seniority with a ballot if required
- Indicative cost for nearly all inclusive (excl. some meals/lunches/spending money) is aiming to be at $6,000 approx but is subject to exchange rate fluctuations, final itinerary etc.
- Positions are secured by a non-refundable deposit to be lodged at this point in November - actual date to be advised at the Info Evening (a staged payment plan will follow).
