CODE OF BEHAVIOUR EACH STUDENT SIGNS UP TO THE CODE OF BEHAVIOUR
Behaviour Good behaviour is vital for the trip to be a successful, very enjoyable experience School rules still apply Time keeping- if someone is late, this leads to disruption of itinerary, frustrated bus drivers, frustrated classmates and angry teachers
Drinking alcohol, smoking and drugs strictly forbidden Beware of people on the streets selling stuff
Students will be divided into groups of about 7-8 with a group leader reporting to an assigned member of staff No student at any time is to be on their own Listen carefully to instructions on meeting times and places When entering shops, bring someone with you, especially if you intend on haggling. If you haggle, be realistic, some shop keepers can get very aggressive
