NIC trip to Harbin Jan19-21st 2018 – last chance to sign up!!!
Dear All
NIC is doing another trip to Harbin in January and we need a minimum number to sign up to make it viable. If you have not been it is a bucket list opportunity – you do not need to go twice but you definitely need to go once!
I went a few years ago and it was extraordinary. There is a deposit RMB1000 per person by 4th December. Children are welcome as long as they have the right kit to wear – as you would expect it is extremely chilly!
The trip is designed so that our teachers can fly on Friday night early evening and return on Sunday evening.
See poster details for full information or contact Monica in Admissions.
Something to look forward to after you return from your holidays…
