Dear Parents/Carers,

School Council has been notified of the dates for the 2015 exchange program between Princes Hill Primary School and Po Leung Kuk Luk Hing Too Primary School in Hong Kong, with a three day visit to Luocun Shiyan Primary School, Foshan in mainland China.

Preparations are now underway for the program and we invite parents to attend an information sharing session on Wednesday 6 May at 5.15pm in 5/6 Neighbourhood to hear about the program.

Duration of the visit will be from Sunday 25th October until early morning return on Tuesday 3rd November.  [PLEASE NOTE: ARRIVAL BACK IN MELBOURNE IS ON MELBOURNE CUP DAY].  Three staff members will accompany the children. Students will be billeted with host families whilst in Hong Kong, and travel to Foshan, mainland China with their host sibling and teachers from both schools.  In Foshan the PHPS and PLKLHT buddies will be hosted by a Foshan student’s family for 2 nights.

The approximate cost will be $1,900 per child plus travel insurance [about $100] and $200 spending and excursion money, plus the visa for mainland China [about $60].

The children from PLK Luk Hing Too will arrive in Melbourne on Sunday 22nd November and stay with their exchange family until Monday 30th November for their part of the exchange.
