Expectations
- Students not meeting Mrs. Burke's expectations for effort, attitude, and attendance will not be allowed on the Edmonton trip.
- This is foremost a musical experience, not a vacation.
- It is expected that all students behave appropriately, respectfully, and professionally in all venues including the hotel, the bus, restaurants, and during all activities.
- It is important that we represent ourselves, our school, and our community positively wherever we go.
- There will be strict lights-out times. We need our rest to perform our best.
- Inappropriate behaviour will result in loss of privileges on the trip as well as consequences once we return home to Carberry.
- It is expected that students communicate with their other teachers to get homework in advance of leaving.
