Upcoming Trips in Year 1

Dear Year 1 Families,

In Year 1, we have some exciting events coming up after the Chinese New Year break! Please see information below regarding our two upcoming trips:

Trip 1:

On Wednesday 12th February 2025, Year 1 will be watching the stage performance of The Lion Inside. This will be held at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts in Wan Chai. 

Due to theatre restrictions and to accommodate our trip, Year 1 and 2 Sports Day will be moved to Thursday 13th February 2025.

Students are to arrive at school at the normal time of 8.25 am, and buses will depart at approx. 10.30am. The show will begin at 12pm. Children will eat their lunch on their return to school; therefore, there will be NO canteen and ALL children will be required to bring a packed lunch.

The cost of the trip will be HK$420 per child, which includes the show ticket and the transportation for your child.

 

Trip 2:

Year 1 have thoroughly enjoyed our new unit ‘Let’s Build Structures’ and have loved sharing their personal experiences of different structures they have visited in Hong Kong and around the world.

To conclude our ‘Let’s Build Structures’ unit, Year 1 will be venturing on a bus trip to Hong Kong Island on Friday 21st February 2025 to explore the exciting structures in our very own city. We will be travelling from DBIS to the AIA Wheel and will be ticking off famous structures that we spot on our journey. We will then walk to Tamar Park for a picnic and continue to develop our observational skills by sketching the structures around us before returning back to school. 

Date: Friday 21st February 2025

Trip Time: Bus pick up from DBIS at 9.30am and leave Hong Kong Island at approx 2pm. 

What to Wear: PE kit and trainers. Depending on the weather, children may be required to wear a coat or hat.

What to Bring: Water bottle and lunch in a small bag that can be easily carried to Tamar Park. We will have our snack at school before we depart at 9.30am.

Cost: HK$60

 

The full payment of HK$480 (for both trips) must be made by Monday 3rd February 2025 for your child to attend. Please submit payments of cash or cheque (payable to Discovery Bay International School) to the main office. If you wish to pay via bank transfer, please use the following details:
