La belle province Friday May 11 -Friday May 18 2018

Something a bit different This trip is not organised by a company. It is organised by students for students. Mr. Wiens, Mme Tarasenco and Mme Anderstedt will be their guides.

Friday May 11, 2018

Here is where it gets interesting The idea is that the students decide what to do! A sub-committee will be struck to explore interesting places to see and do. Students will be responsible for being the « tourist guide » so they will need to do some research before the trip so they can present their findings to the group in French. All teachers are here to help!

It’s up to the students This is the students’ trip to organise and animate. We will strike a sub-committee early in September and together we will decide on our activities. 2018 prices should be posted by that time so our budget is realistic.

The price of doing business We will do our very best to be transparent about prices. Costs will be tracked very closely and will be available to all. Please keep in mind that some of the prices have been estimated for budgeting purposes as the 2018 prices have yet to be posted.
