Introduction      Welcome  to  our  Week  without  walls  programme.  This  programme  is  developed  to  give  students  the  opportunity  to  work  together  to  build  relationships  and  leadership  skills.  It  also  provides  students  with  the  opportunity   to   see   how   they   learn   in   the   classroom   relates   to   the  world  around  them.    Links   to   the   taught   and   written   curriculum   are   made   and   are   an  essential  part  of  our  Middle  Years  Programme.    We  hope  that  the  information  provided  in  this  booklet  will  give  you  valuable   information   as   well   as   the   essence   of   what   the   trip   is   all  about.    Please  do  contact  us  if  you  have  any  questions  regarding  this  trip.    The  Team:    Trip  Coordinator  –  Ms  Jane  Altemen  -­‐  081282367204    Team  members:     Ms.  Liz  Carrick           Ms.  Mairin  Raisdana           Mr.  Reza  Anggara           Mr.  David  Chin             Ms.  Dianne  Gammage           Mr.  Daniel  Zhang  

 

The  Location:      The   Grade   6   trip   will   be   based   in   two   different   locations.   For   the   first   two  nights   of   the   trip   we   will   be   based   at   Sinarmas   World   Academy.   Here   the  students  will   have   the   chance   to   be   involved   in   team   building   activities   and  working  with  people   in   the   local  community.  This   is  a  part  of   the  community  and   service   requirement   of   the   MYP   programme.   Students   will   have   the  chance  to  engage  with  activities  which  concentrate  on  them  becoming  caring  compassionate  people  and  also  to  help  build  leadership  and  team  skills  which  will  be  needed  in  their  life  journey.    The  second  location  is  where  we  will  spend  the  second  two  nights  of  our  trip.  We   will   be   travelling   to   a   camp   just   outside   of   Bogor   –   The   Highland   Park  Resort.  Here  the  students  will  have  the  opportunity  to  enjoy  the  natural  beauty  of   Java  and  enjoy  a  variety  of  activities   to   further  develop  their  collaboration  and  communication  skills.

The  Accommodation    For   the   first   two  nights   (Monday  and  Tuesday)  we  will  be  based  at   Sinarmas  World  Academy,  students  will  be  firstly  sleeping  the  Grade  6  Piazza  and  on  the  second  night  they  will  try  their  hands  at  camping.  We  have  arranged  tents  for  this  outdoor  camp,  which  will  be  set  up  in  the  grounds  of  our  beautiful  school.    For   the   third   and   fourth   nights   the   students   will   be   staying   at   a   Five   Star  Mongolian  Tent  site  on  the  outskirts  of  Bogor.  This  camp  is  set  up  specifically  for   school   groups   and   businesses   and   includes   many   different   outdoor  activities.  The  campsite  itself   is  the  only  five  star  resort  of  its  kind  in  Asia  and  will  be  a  wonderful  experience  for  our  children.  The  tents  have  been  created  in  traditional  Mongolian  style.

Travel  Arrangements  We   will   be   travelling   by   bus   to   Bogor,   once   at   the   camp   we   will   not  require  transport  as  everything  that  we  do  will  be  within  the  confines  of  the   campsite.     The   bus  we   use  will   be   organised   through   our   transport  manager  and  will  be  fully  air-­‐conditioned.    Travel  Insurance:    We  have  organised  travel  insurance  for  all  students  and  will  discuss  this  at  the  parent  meeting.
