Dear Parents,
I am writing to you to inform you about the Grade 4 and Grade 5 Angkor Wat Run and Bike Race Trip. The outline program is indicated below:
Friday 4th December - depart ISPP on hired bus, swimming at hotel
Saturday 5th December - morning - 17/30km bike race; afternoon - trip to temples and swimming at hotel
Sunday 6th December - 3km fun run; hired bus back to ISPP, returning late afternoon.
The trip will be lead by myself and Andy Munn, assisted by several other staff members, whom we are in the process of confirming.
At this stage, please carefully consider whether your child can commit to the training program and shows the maturity and behaviour standards required for residential trips. We will be setting up a training schedule throughout October and November. This will involve lunchtime running activities at school twice a week.
Students who are participating in the bike race would also need to commit to several Sunday morning rides. These students will need to have access to a roadworthy bike and a cycle helmet. The dates for these sessions are;
Sunday 4 October
Sunday 25th October
Sunday 8th November
We will meet up at the South End of Diamond Island (near Bassac Garden / AEON) for a 7.30am start. We will be finished at 8.30am. Parents are welcome to come and cycle with the students during these sessions.
The hotel where we will be staying, Empress Angkor, is located about 2km out of the town centre and has a swimming pool and outdoor space. Students will be staying in shared rooms (in a group of two or three), which have ensuite bathrooms. We will be travelling on buses with seat belts that we will hire for the duration of the trip.
The trip should cost approximately $180 and will include accommodation, food and water, transport and entry fee for the 3km run. There will be an additional cost for the students who wish to participate in the bike race (approximately $60), which covers the entry fees to the bike race and transportation of bikes to Siem Reap.The exact amount will be confirmed once we have a clear idea of number of students participating. Spending money for the trip is not necessary, but $20 is the maximum allowed and your child will be in charge of that money.
We will require that each child has an up-to-date medical insurance for this trip. If you do not have insurance, the school can arrange for this to be purchased for the weekend (approx $20).
Parents Meeting
There will be a parents information meeting on Friday 2nd October at 7.35am, in the Elementary Music Studio (Building C, level 1) where we will distribute detailed information and answer your questions. Information will also be posted on the Elementary PE Blog (www.isppelementarype.blogspot.com).
If you would like you child to participate in this trip, please complete the permission form If you are having trouble accessing the form the address is http://goo.gl/forms/swzd4arfY2 or email me for a copy. The permission form covers both the training sessions and the actual trip, and as such please can you complete it before the first Sunday Bike session on the 4th of October. A payment of $50 which acts as a deposit should be payed to the Finance Office.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at school.
Yours sincerely,
Ben Wiggins (benwiggins@ispp.edu.kh)
