****VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION****

Parents must give permission in writing to allow International Language Holiday Staff to prescribe aspirin and paracetamol or similar medicines for coughs and colds.

All student medicines must be given to us at the beginning of the course.

International Language Holidays cannot accept responsibility concerning the medical condition of any student, if we do not have necessary information in writing before the child arrives.

International Language holidays assumes that when parents enrol students on an International Language Holiday programme, they are automatically giving permission for their children to participate in all advertised programmes in the brochure, unless they give different instructions in writing.

How can your parents contact you by phone?

  • The telephone numbers for parents wishing to telephone will be sent to them before the course starts:
  • Parents can only call at the following times

    08:00 - 09:00
    12:45 - 14:00
    17:00 - 18:30

If parents telephone to speak to a student, there may be a long delay before he or she can be brought to the telephone. Your school is situated on a large campus and it can take ten minutes or more to bring a student from the Sports Hall or the Swimming Pool to the telephone.

IT IS MUCH BETTER IF STUDENTS TELEPHONE YOUR PARENTS FROM TIME TO TIME. There are special telephones at the school for you to use and our staff are always on hand to help. Remember, it can take a long time to bring you to the telephone if your parents call you.
