Dear Parents
bmisgoesparislondon2011

I am delighted to inform you that your child/children has/have been selected for a place on the above school trip. The balance of the trip is due in two instalments and a final payment, as shown below. Please note that deposits and payments will not be returned should you withdraw your child/children after the first instalment has been made. This is because the school will have to pay monies to the travel company, air carrier and insurance company that will be non-refundable. Please note that whilst every effort has been made to fix the price of the trip, unforeseen increases in costs (such as changing air fuel prices and varying exchange rates) will be passed on to the parents. For a breakdown of the costs please turn over.

Students/parents must bring cheques (write bmisgoesparislondon2011
at back) or cash into the financial office immediately on arrival at school. They will be issued with a receipt. Cheques/cash should be placed in a sealed envelope clearly labelled with your child’s/children’s name and class.

part disappointment letter:

The interest in signing up for the bmisgoesparislondon2011 trip has been beyond any expectation: thank you very much! We have had almost 50 applications, but do not find it responsible to go with a larger group than 40 students to busy cities like Paris and London. While selecting the 40 students we have based ourselves also upon participation in 2010 France trip (we would like to give newcomers also the opportunity to go on such a trip), time of application (actual deadline was Friday 29th April) and age (Year 6 students will have more opportunities to go on a next trip than Year 12 students). We have consulted the classroom teachers in this difficult process. Unfortunately we have to disappoint your son/daughter. I just can say: sorry. We have put your child’s name however on a waiting list.
