We are continuing with the process of organising the return visit of our Dutch hosts from October 2022. We are looking forward to reciprocating the fantastic experience which our pupils received during our 4 night experience with the players from Hopbel Hockey club. The return dates are from Saturday 29 April through to Wednesday 3 May.
The girls and boys (mainly girls) are a variety of ages, between 12 and 15. This may be of interest if your child would like to attend the Holland visit in October 2023, however this invitation is open to all families. In order to host, we are looking for families who can offer to host a pair (or more) of Dutch visitors and willing to entertain and involve them in your family life for the 4 nights. We will organise an itinerary of fixtures, activities during the school day and a BBQ for our guests with their host families on the final evening. We will let you know who the other host families are so that you can organize other events together if you wish. We will supply bus tickets for the Dutch visitors should these be required but they will need to be picked up after fixtures each day from College.
Due to requisite safeguarding checks, all adults (members of the family over 18 years old) within the household must hold an enhanced DBS certificate, to be sent for by the Princethorpe Foundation, even if they currently have a DBS certificate from another employer. If you are subscribed to the DBS Update Service, please do let us know. To allow plenty of time for the DBS certificates to be received before the tour, please do book an appointment with our Recruitment Co-ordinator at recruitment@princethorpe.co.uk, to take place after Monday 30 January, as the DBS check has to be done within the three months prior to the visit. It will only take 15 minutes per person to apply for the DBS certificates, and one person from the household can bring the documentation on behalf of everyone in the household. The recruitment team are available Monday to Friday from 8.00am until 5.00pm. If you have any questions, please do contact Claire Wildsmith or Suz Jeffery on 01926 634269. Please see the attached document entitled ‘Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks’ for the ID documentation required.
Many thanks for your continued support of Princethorpe Sport and we hope that you can continue this by hosting some Dutch guests in April.
The South Africa Tour Fundraising Wreath Making Evenings on Wednesday 30 November and Thursday 1 December were a great success. It was wonderful to see so many of you enjoying yourselves creating your wreaths, and all while helping to fundraise for next year's Senior Sports Tour.
We asked for photos of the wreaths and don’t they just look amazing hung upon their doors!
We have been able to arrange a package which will allow us to raise some funds for the upcoming school trip to South Africa in July 2023.
