Space Camp Update- 

The doctor will be in on Thursday.

SPACE CAMP INFORMATION

Dear parents,

Dr Ibrahim Dereboy will be coming to Zek next week to perform medical checks for Zek students at a cost of 30TL per student. 

Students will need to return their Space Camp forms prior to the day in order that Dr Ibrahim can complete the medical forms

Regards

Homework update- 

There was some good work today and you were all able to get on with your presentations. You have until Friday to finish your presentations and to write a script for it. The presentation should be between 4-5 minutes (it's longer than you think), and you all need to say something.

A lot of you have videos which is good, but they are very long. Make sure you choose the correct video, and the most interesting part of it. Good luck!!

SPACE CAMP INFORMATION:

Dear parents,

Dr Dereboy has agreed to assist us with the space camp medical form. The form must be completed by a certified doctor. He is willing to give up his time to do a medical assessment and sign the space camp form. It is a space camp requirement for insurance purposes. To go to space camp a medical doctor's signature is required.

Turkish citizens can use the village clinic at relative little expense or they can also sign up for Dr Dereboy. 

Non-Turkish residence may use the service offered by Dr Dereboy or use doctors at hospitals and clinics at their convenience. Going to the American Hospital and Aci Badem can be an expensive experience, in the order of $300 so I have been told by one of the parents recently. 

Dr Dereboy will be coming to our school. In order to determine accurately the number of students wanting this service I need parents to reply directly to this email in order that we can work out a cost. This will assist Dr Dereboy determine the cost of the consultation and inform us some time hopefully tomorrow. So tomorrow numbers collected, this will be sent to Dr Dereboy and he will inform us of cost and then everyone will be informed.

Mr Dave, Mr Boardman and Miss Holt.
