Watch out ! Safety tips

ON THE COACH

 you should not stand or be seated improperly when the bus is moving.
 You should always face the front.
 Remember to keep the bus clean! You should not eat or drink in the bus.
 Remember to be seated all the time ! British authorities are extremely severe on that
point and we might get a fine (to be paid by your family).

ON THE FERRY

 Always stay with the group!
 It’s not allowed to be on the outside decks without permission !
 Do not run ! Do not make noise !

IN CITIES AND TOWNS

 You must be very careful when walking in the streets, in small groups or in large
groups.
 Always walk on the right side of the streets. Remember the vehicles are not coming
from the usual direction !
 Never move aside when you are walking on the pavements !
 Always look both ways before crossing !

ABOUT YOUR LUGGAGE

 Be careful not to leave your luggage unattended ! It could cause useless alarm !

FREE TIME PERIODS

 Always stay in groups ! Don’t stay alone !
 Do not leave the area indicated by the group leaders.
 Make sure you know where and when the group is to meet after free times.
 Make sure you know how to find your way back to the meeting point before
separating.

SHOPPING

 You should always keep the receipts when you buy something.
Groups are often controlled in stores or museum shops.

ACTIVITY BOOK

 Do not forget to take your activity book with you during visits.
 Remember the activity books will be corrected and there will be prizes for the best
ones !

The house of your host family

Dear host family, we would be grateful if you could spare a few minutes to help our students

communicate and to keep them out of their rooms to enjoy a bit of conversation.
Thank you very much for your help !
