Travelling with Social Science

With just a couple of weeks before the first trip to Wellington, it is a timely reminder about trip protocols.

Remember to return your permission slips to Mr Buckham as soon as possible so we can compile attendance lists.  You will need to pay the office the trip fee before next Friday.

You must wear your full and correct school uniform into Wellington, and you are expected to behave in an exemplary manner.  We will be travelling by public train, so this behaviour begins while waiting for the train itself.  Remember that many commuters take the train daily and do not like to be disturbed on their morning or evening journey.

You are encouraged to bring digital cameras, ipods etc with you on trips.  That way you can gather the information in an easy manner.  But do remember to be polite, do not take photos in areas which are prohibited, and watch your behaviour when photographing yourself or others.  Remember that there are others present where we go, so respect their space and be polite.  Do not wear your ipod in your ears when listening to a speaker, even if the volume is off.  If you are recording with your ipod, always check that is this allowed first.

Trips are always fun with the History department, but you will need to follow the rules to get the most out of the day.  A successful trip usually is followed by another.....
