Students should ensure that they arrive at 08:15 for a 08:30 departure.The back car park (behind the Humanities Block) will be open to use, as it will be on Monday 16th for our return.Those students who have not handed in their passports and EHICs need to remember them and have themsomewhere easy to get to as they will be collected before we get on the buses. Students also need to rememberto have their swimming costumes in their hand luggage ready to go to the Blue Lagoon on arrival in Iceland. I lookforward to seeing all 65 students early on Thursday 12 th !MUSICAll instruments MUST be taken home over the Easter holidays.Please could you remind your child to take home any musical instruments over the holidays (not least to do somepractice!) An increasing number of instruments, especially guitars, are being left for several days in someinstances. The school cannot take responsibility for instruments which are left overnight. If pupils need to leave aninstrument overnight, now and again, they must ask a member of the music staff to lock it away.Thank you for your support in this matterMrs Hastings-ClarkeMODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGESOur week in Harpenden –by our German Exchange Partners
