VALUABLES
• Cameras and watches are the responsibility of THE CHILD. If a cell phone is brought on the trip, it will be collected by the teacher for safekeeping.

• Children will have the opportunity to do some shopping. They should not need more than HKD $500.

Try to stay close to this list. You don’t want to overdo your packing. Remember, you are carrying your bag, so keep it light!


Don’t forget the Trip Book!!
Every day you will be given time to write in your Trip Book to enter in information, answer questions and reflect on our time in Shanghai. Many of these pages will be necessary for you to do your final project.
