NEW CLUB: TRAVEL AGENCY CLUB
Students are invited to join our new 'Travel Agency' club, which starts from next week. It will run on Wednesdays after school in M13.
Travel agencies are businesses that involve and connect lots of subjects together.
Geography, History, MFL, English, Maths, IT skills and Business are directly interconnecting to run such a business.
Teams of students will be allocated specific roles;
- Team responsible for transport (airlines, boat, trains etc)
- Team responsible for organised activities (historical visits, museums, sports, spas, etc)
- Team responsible of preparing the travel holidays packages
- Team responsible for the financial part of the sales (costing and setting of selling prices)
- Team responsible for organising the sales (marketing, communication etc)
Students will take part in;
- Preparation of the travel packages including study of various destinations: History of the place, accessibility, accommodation, the activities to do, the visits etc.
- Costing of the travel packages and define selling prices.
- Marketing and preparation of leaflets, social media, and questionnaires to find which packages will be the most popular.

With high temperatures currently please can you remind your child(ren) the importance of the following:
- To apply sunscreen before they come to school, and to bring this with them in order to re-apply it when necessary.
- Bringing a water bottle to school, which can be refilled at breaks and lunches as needed from the water fountains around the school.
- Wearing a sun hat/cap which covers their head, neck and ears for their PE Lessons.
- During breaks and lunches please recommend your child to find a shady spot to enjoy the weather.
Although the weather is due to cool in the coming days, we have the rest of the Summer term and September when temperatures could be well above average.
