Your daughter needs to take some money to cover lunches and some suppers. During the day, the girls may need to find a light lunch in a town or city. There will  a maximum of 10 lunches and 5 evening meals that they need to buy. In all the cities we visit, such food will be easily available and not expensive. The girls will choose from fast food to sandwiches for lunch and Italian or American style restaurants in the evenings. They will also have opportunities to go shopping and may choose to buy t-shirts or similar souvenirs. 200- 250 pounds should be ample. 

What is the best way for her to take money?

 We strongly advise the girls not to carry large amounts of money with them. The easiest method to access money is through a bank card and ATMs. Teenage accounts vary and we advise you to speak to your bank to see if this is possible. Most high-street banks have agreements with Australian/NZ banks and will not charge for withdrawing money (although most will charge commission.) There are traveller’s cheque cards which can be used to withdraw money from ATMs. Traveller’s cheques are the most secure way, but the girls need their passports to cash them and we try to keep the passports in hotel safes as much as possible.  The staff will look after any traveller’s cheques. If you need and further advice, please email tph@oundleschool.org.uk

What do I take as billeting gifts?

Last time the girls took soaps, tea towels, fudge, playing cards from Northumberland or something from your local area.

How much kit can I take with me?

PLEASE note that your kit bags are large, and if filled will exceed the weight allowance.  The weight limit is 20kgs per person. The airline will charge your £25 per extra kilo per flight.

Weigh your bag before you go!
