Selection & Sign Up Procedure
Selection & Sign Up Procedure
Participation
Quest Week is an integral and compulsory aspect of the students’ learning experience at Island School. Given the importance of this experiential program for developing skills and building community, all students are required to attend. This is a commitment that parents agree to uphold when they choose to enrol their child in the school. When a student enrols in a specific program, their commitment to attend includes settling the final payment once the final budgets are calculated, which we endeavour to share well in advance of the program.
For families new to the school, invoices will be shared as soon as possible after the student has joined the school.
For students who are unable to attend due to extenuating circumstances, it is essential to notify the school at the beginning of the academic year, in August. We understand that there may be genuine medical or family reasons that prevent students from attending.
Sign-up Process
Before you make your selection, you MUST have had a discussion with your parents about your trip preference. Your parents must approve of your choice as, ultimately, they will be paying for the experience. We appreciate that you may want to join your friends on a trip, so we would also encourage you to speak to them before you confirm.
We would like to stress that withdrawal from your option, once deposits have been paid, WILL result in the loss of your deposit.
