Forest School Current Year 10 (2007/08) Needs your vote

Hi,

We feel that our year (Current year 10) has been short changed from all the things Forest made us look forward to.

We have missed out on:

1. Only 1 day at lodge hill YR7
2. Trip to Holland YR7
3. No study leave
4. No enrichment
5. Younger years now going to Belgium, Italy, France

We would love to join up with Millais who are well known for their good school trips. We think it would be a great idea to lease with them and to go to Canada in the February half term,

School trips are backed up by several large organisations as you can see below. The quote shows what a leading educational authority thinks about visiting Canada:

Do students really benefit from educational travel?
"Language, history and science lessons come alive to students on Visit Canada's educational tours . We think that students probably learn more during a three or four day student field trips than in any other three or four day time period during the school year. And for most students, the lessons learned stay with them for a lifetime. "

Please sign this petition if you feel strongly about this.

Thank you
