Hello Students,

Thank you to those who have emailed me a copy of their Vietnam visa. Some students have been having trouble downloading it. If you click print, then choose from the drop-down menu – save as PDF – it should allow you to save it. Any problems then please let me know.

Some students unfortunately entered the exact dates of our trip (7-16th Jan, 2025) on their visa application as opposed to entering the departure date from Vietnam of the 20th of January as requested. This is to allow us extra time at the end should there be any delays with departure for whatever reason. This was mentioned multiple times by myself, Mrs Freeman and Mrs Harris during our visa application session last week. This was also stated in the PowerPoint I provided to you all. I am sure it will be fine, however, if for whatever reason there is a delay in departing Vietnam, then any extension to your visa will unfortunately be at your cost.

As next week (week 4) is your final week before exams, you have been given permission to wear your Vietnam tour shirt throughout the week should you wish.

Finally, we are looking at a possible date in week 8 to meet up with you all to further discuss the English lessons you will be teaching. Please ensure you finalise the resources you need for this as outlined by Mrs Harris at our last meeting and email her what you need printed off. Please do not leave this to the last minute as we would like it all finalised by the next meeting so you can practice what your lessons will look like.

If you have any questions then please contact Mrs Freeman, Mrs Harris or myself. As always, keep going with the fundraising as there is not long left.

Kind regards,

Mr Merrifield
