Profile of the Student Traveler
One of the questions which will be asked of
Mrs. Siemens:
How do you know that your students are prepared and fit to travel? This refers to
medical, emotional, behavioural, and academic fitness to travel.
Any student who doesn’t meet the profile is ineligible to travel.
Financial Assistance
➫ There is a very small amount of financial assistance available on a case by case basis. Should this be required, please make an appointment to see Mr. Black.
➫ Fundraising opportunities are available to all travelers and their families through School Council.
EF Tours
All questions and concerns are to be directed to
Mrs. Siemens and not directly to EF Tours.
In accordance with Calgary Board of Education
policy, all communications with EF Tours is
done through the school.
Conclusion
1. All fundraising is conducted and accounted for through School Council.
2. No person can benefit financially from fundraising.3. The school is not a fundraising body. Mr. Black’s
obligation is to ensure all fundraising regulations are followed.
4. The focus of this trip is the enriched educational opportunities it presents students. It is not mandatory, nor can it distract from the primary focus of the school; teaching and learning.
