Dear Parents and Guardians,
I am pleased to inform you that Year 5 will be going on a school trip to Kowloon Walled City Park on Thursday 21st November (Y5SM and Y5CD) and Friday 22nd November (Y5TS and Y5CG).
This trip links to both our Discovery unit on ‘Our Hong Kong’ and our English unit linked to the book on the Kowloon Walled City of Kowloon. The children will explore the history of the Kowloon Walled City as well as sketch some of the traditional-style buildings in the park.
Classes will leave by bus shortly after registration at 8.30am, spending the morning in the Kowloon Walled City Park. They will have a packed lunch there before we return to school. The students should wear their regular school uniform and bring a snack and a packed lunch on the day.
Permission
Please provide permission for your child to attend this trip by completing the following jotform – link
Volunteers
We would welcome parent volunteers to support this trip, aiming for three volunteers per class. Please contact your child’s class teacher via email if you are able to support us.
Payment
The park is free for students to visit, so the bus is the only expense. This is HK$100 per child, to be paid by cash, cheque or bank transfer by Friday 15th November.
All cheques are to be made payable to ‘Discovery Bay International School Ltd.’
Online bank transfer is also accepted provided that the transfer slip and student information are emailed to the accounts office ([email protected]) for reconciliation purposes.
Bank details are as follows:
Bank name: Discovery Bay International School Limited
