THINGS TO
CONSIDER
While the fieldtrip is intended to be fun, students
should still approach the
play critically so they are
prepared to discuss and /
or write about it afterwards
Students attending the
play should remember
they are representatives of
their school and thus
should dress and act in
ways that uphold the
standards of the school
(specifics about dress will
be discussed in class)
