QEII Enrichment
Week 2019
Information for Students and Parents
Introduction
This year’s Enrichment activities will take place from Tuesday 16th to Thursday
18th July 2019.
On Tuesday 16th each year group will take part in their own Year activity. While
on Wednesday 17th and Thursday 18th July students in Years 7-10 and Year 12
will be able to participate in an activity of their choice over two days. The range
of activities available is as ambitious and varied as last year so please read
each activity description carefully before making your choices. You will see that
many activities are free, however, there are also some that have a financial
cost.
The activities booklet and a booking form can be found on the school website
https://qe2.sch.im and on itslearning. A limited number of hard copies will also
be available to look at in Reception for those people who do not have internet
access at home.
Choosing and booking your two day activity (Wednesday and Thursday)
It is important that parents and students read the online activity booklet
together. Students should make a first choice and two reserve choices for an
activity that is enjoyable, challenging and affordable for them.
After you have decided your first choice and reserve choice activities, you
should fill in the booking form and return it to your tutor no later than Thursday
28th February 2019. DO NOT BRING IN ANY MONEY AT THIS STAGE!
Once we have received your booking form we will confirm if you have been of-
fered a place. You will then need to send in a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit to
secure your place by Friday 29th March 2019. The amount you should pay
will depend on your activity and will be indicated in your confirmation letter.
QEII Enrichment
Week 2019
Please do not choose to do an activity just because your friends want to
do it. Choose an activity because YOU want to do it. Meeting new
people and making new friends is a key element of the Enrichment
activities.
Remember that friendship groups do change over time and also that if
an activity is over subscribed names will be drawn out of a hat, so there
is no guarantee that you will be with friends.
Places on activities will not be arranged on a “first come, first served
basis”. All of the forms will be processed.
In cases where students are not offered their first choice or either of
their reserve choices, they will be offered an alternative activity after a
personal discussion.
Please note that the school reserves the right to refuse applications for
off Island trips and off site activities for students where behaviour in
school has previously been a cause for concern.
Deadline Dates
It is vital that deadlines are kept by both students and parents in order to
help the smooth running of the programme. Should a situation arise
where a deadline cannot be met, parents should contact the school as
soon as possible to discuss the issue.
Thursday 28th February 2019: Deadline for booking forms to be
returned to Tutor
Friday 29th March 2019: Deadline for deposit/first payment to
be paid
Friday 3rd May 2019: Deadline for final balance to be paid
If you have any queries about Enrichment activities please do not
hesitate to contact Mr Barker (Enrichment Activities Co-ordinator) on

Arrangements for the week
Times
On Enrichment days the normal school day will be followed i.e. start 8.55am finish
3.45pm.
Travel to and from school
The school buses will operate at the normal times.
Some activities have starting and finishing times beyond the normal school day.
If you choose such an activity you will need to make your own arrangements for
getting to and from school.
Travel to and from off-site activities
For most off-site activities transport will be provided either by coach or school
minibus. However, some activities will require taking public transport or walking to the
venue. Where this is the case, notice will be given in plenty of time to make
arrangements. For some activities it may be possible for students to make their own
way to the venue at the beginning of the day.
Meals and Meal times
Some activities require a packed lunch. If your child normally has a free school meal a
packed lunch will be provided.
The dining room will be open at the normal times during the day for snacks, hot meals
and sandwiches.
School Dress
On Enrichment days students are allowed to wear appropriate casual wear.
Student Behaviour
We expect students behaviour to be of the highest order whether they are taking part
in activities in school, out and about in our community or off island. Students who do
not maintain the expected standard of behaviour will be withdrawn from activities. In
such cases a refund will not be possible as most bookings have to be paid in
advance.

Health and Safety
Now, more than ever before, we are extremely aware of the potential
hazards involved with adventure activities. It can sometimes be difficult,
almost impossible, to create an opportunity for adventure whilst totally
eliminating all risks.
The staff involved in organising the activities have paid great attention
to health and safety. Where activities take place in a potentially
hazardous environment, tuition and supervision by properly qualified
instructors has been arranged. In situations where teachers at the
school possess appropriate qualifications, their expertise is being fully
employed.
Every activity included in our Enrichment programme has been
examined for health and safety and adequate staff/student ratios. As a
result we can confidently offer a wide range of activities, which are
within the Department of Education, Sport and Culture’s strict safety
guidelines.
If you have any queries about any of the activities in this booklet, please
do not hesitate to contact the school to discuss the matter with Mr
Barker (our Educational Visits Co-ordinator) who has oversight of all
risk assessments.QEII Enrichment Booking Form
