Info

TRIPS Field Trips Classes will take field trips to enhance learning opportunities throughout the year to places in and about Copenhagen. In so far as possible, these trips will be taken on public transport. Students must have their parents' permission to attend all trips. A field trip permission form must be filled in on our database (Veracross) when your child joins Copenhagen International School and will cover his or her time in the School. The School has high expectations of students and their good behavior while on trips, as they will represent not only themselves but also the School. If students on trips misbehave and violate the trust the School has in them, they may be sent home at the expense of the parents and banned from future trip opportunities. Operation Dagsverk Each year Danish Schools participate in one day of work outside of school, donating their wages to raise money for charity. At CIS grades 11 & 12 students participate. There are no classes in Senior School on this day. The school will be closed for Faculty Professional Development. Longer Trips A variety of curricular trips are also organized for Senior School students, including theatre, science and language trips, some of which involve overseas travel. Students are strongly recommended to attend all trips that are related to the Diploma curriculum, as failure to attend may impact learning. There are also opportunities to attend trips that are subject but not curriculum related, such as Mathletes competitions and ISTA drama trips. Students participating in MUN have the opportunity to attend the conference in the Hague each year, and there are several Service Learning clubs which also offer opportunities to travel. Social Overnight/DP Retreat All students will spend one or two nights in late August off campus, with the purpose of building community. It is an opportunity for students and teachers to get to know each other outside of the classroom. The focus is on team building activities to promote friendship, respect and mutual tolerance. These will be run at three different venues and will involve activities to welcome and orient students into their respective grade levels. Grades 11 & 12 go together to the DP Retreat, as there are also curricular elements to this trip. Activity Week In May of each year, students in grades 9 & 10 spend a week away with their grade level. This is called ‘Activity Week’. The program for the week is an extension of the school’s curriculum and is an integral part of the students’ academic program. The costs of the both the Social Overnight and Activity Week are covered by the school fees. There is no additional charge and participation is mandatory. School Rules Apply All school rules apply on Field and Overnight Trips. Students who do not adhere to school rules will be sent home at parent expense, and face disciplinary consequences at school. Depending on the age, parents may be required to collect their child from the location. TEXTBOOKS All textbooks are provided by the school, and distributed by teachers as required. Students have the option to purchase some Literature texts and Language exercise books. Students are required to return their CIS Senior School Parent/Student Handbook 26
textbooks at the end of the program (this could be at the end of the school year or after two years for the Diploma Program). A fee is charged for unreturned textbooks. TRANSCRIPTS, IB RESULTS AND DIPLOMAS Students leaving CIS should apply to Lesley McDonald in the Senior School Office for a transcript. Transcripts are generally sent directly to the next educational institution. Please note that the end of the school year is a very busy time in the office, and it may take a week after second semester reports are released for transcripts to be ready. For graduating students, their Counselor will ensure that final school transcripts are forwarded to any universities who require this document. Graduating students who wish to ensure that the IB informs their chosen universities of their Diploma results need to fill in the relevant form in April of the final year. The IB will ensure that up to 6 universities (only one of which can be in the US) will be provided with a transcript of his/her Diploma results. It is the responsibility of each student to let their Counselor and the DP Coordinator know to which university information needs to be sent. The IB Diploma, and the Diploma Results Document, generally arrive at CIS in late August. These are sent to students as quickly as possible, providing that an accurate postal address has been provided. Some universities, as part of the application process, require an original Diploma earlier than the arrival of these documents at school. Unfortunately, there is no means for supplying this. In such cases, a certified copy of the IB results document from the website may suffice. CIS Senior School Parent/Student Handbook 27
