As we prepare for the slopes, we understand that purchasing ski gear can sometimes feel like an added expense. To help keep costs down, we recommend checking out Vinted, a fantastic online marketplace where you can find high-quality second-hand ski clothing at great prices!

Not only will this help you save money, but it’s also a wonderful way to make a sustainable choice, reducing waste and giving pre-loved items a second life. It’s a win-win for both your wallet and the environment!

…and you can always sell it again after the trip.

Get started here

Dear Parents/Guardians,
We hope your child is looking forward to the upcoming school ski trip! This is a reminder that the total amount of £1000 is due to be paid by 3rd October. If you haven’t yet paid the full amount, please ensure payment is made by this deadline. Please make this payment via the school Parent Pay system.

If you are experiencing any difficulties meeting this deadline, we kindly ask that you contact Mr. Jack at the school as soon as possible to discuss your situation.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to an exciting and memorable trip!

As part of our preparations for the upcoming school ski trip to Italy, we need to ensure that all students are adequately covered for any medical needs that may arise during the trip. To this end, we require all participating pupils to have a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).

The EHIC card provides access to state-provided healthcare in European countries at a reduced cost or sometimes for free, making it an essential part of travel preparation within Europe.

If Your Child Already Has an EHIC Card:

If your child already has a valid EHIC card, please provide a copy of the card details to the school. You can either send a photocopy of the card with your child, or alternatively, you can hand the card into the office and they will photocopy it for you.

If Your Child Does Not Have an EHIC Card:

If your child does not yet have an EHIC card, you can apply for one online, and the process is straightforward and free of charge. Please visit the official EHIC website at

www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/healthcare-abroad/apply-for-a-free-uk-global-health-insurance-card-ghic/to apply

Do not use any other website apart from the official NHS website and others can wrongly include a fee. After receiving the card, kindly ensure that you submit a copy of it to the school office.

Please note that having an EHIC card is a mandatory requirement for this trip.

We appreciate your attention to this matter to ensure that all students are fully prepared for the trip. If you have any questions or require further assistance with the application process, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at gw15jackdavid@glow.sch.uk.

The next important payment milestone for the ski trip is Thursday, 29th August. By this date, all families are expected to have contributed £800 towards the total cost of the trip. Please make this payment via ParentPay.

We understand that unexpected circumstances can arise. If you encounter any difficulties in making this payment, please do not hesitate to contact me directly via the email address below or through the ski trip website.

The final balance of £1,000 is due by Thursday, 3rd October.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, two pupils have unfortunately had to withdraw from the Italy trip, leaving us with 38 students confirmed. While we can proceed with this number, we are eager to fill the available spots to bring our group up to 40 participants. If you know of any S2 or S3 students who might be interested in joining the ski trip at this late stage, please ask them to contact Mr. Jack so we can explore the possibility of including them.

As we prepare for this unforgettable adventure, it’s important that we gather all necessary information from pupils to ensure smooth travel arrangements. To facilitate this process, I kindly request that you complete the digital form provided using the following link:

https://forms.office.com/e/ccisse2QJ1 

This information will be shared with the travel company well in advance of our departure. Please ensure that the form is completed by Friday, May 31st.

If there are any issues with providing this data then please let Mr Jack know via email.
