     school which will include an introduction to the staff, a
     tour of the school and this is when you will hand your
     passport and pocket money to the Centre Manager who
     will lock it in a safe where it will be secure.


     YOUR FIRST DAY
     On your first day, you will have a placement test to deter-

     your placement test, you will stay in your temporary class
     so we can give you information about the school in an
     induction lesson. This information will include your time-
     table and advice about staying in the UK.
