Departure: Please drop your bags off at the Active 8 and then proceed to your classroom for registration as normal at 7:50. Suitcases should be labelled clearly with the child's name and class.
Pick up: There will not be Vietnamese Lessons or clubs for students returning from Long Hai. Please collect your child from the Activ8 at 1:30 pm, or after that in their classroom. Make sure you let the teacher know your child has been collected so we can ensure all students are safe. Finally, if you child usually takes the bus home, please arrange for them to be picked up with the rest of the students at 1:30 pm as they will not be permitted to ride their normal bus home.

Organisation 2024
Residential Schedule
The 3 days they are away from home will be very busy with a range of activities which will be completed on a rotational basis. There will also be some ‘downtime’ included for children to enjoy in order to fulfil one of our primary trip aims: To encourage positive social interaction and develop independence.
Location
Students and staff will be staying at the
Trân Châu beach & resort , a medium sized 3 star resort which easily caters for groups our size, and yet still feels small enough that we feel we're the only people there. They are located at:
Phuoc Hai Town, Dat Do District, Ba Ria, Vung Tau Province, Vietnam
Follow the link below and check out the resort's homepage.
Transport is via the Vung Tau Expressway and takes approximately 2 hours.
Safety
The staff have done an exhaustive ‘risk assessment’ of the resort and the surrounds to determine the level of risk involved during all activities. We have also used the same resort for previous Year 4 residential trips to ensure a full understanding of any risk involved. Transport will be provided by an external bus company which has been used on many previous occasions and has seat belts fitted as mandatory. The staff will then ensure all children a securely fastened before departure on each journey.
Children will not be allowed to swim in the ocean, although wading below the knees will be permissible. This will take place under strict adult supervision at all times.
Medical issues will have been highlighted in the medical information provided by you. Any prescription medication needs to be clearly labelled and explained to the nurse who will be accompanying the group on the trip.
I am sure you will have other questions, please free to ask your class teacher, or myself at michael.martin@bisvietnam.com.
