· Swimming costume/trunks

· For girls: please ensure swimwear is suitable for use during menstruation (e.g. period-proof swimwear or appropriate protection)

· Towel

· Hair conditioner – recommended after swimming in geothermal water

Spending Money up to £100 worth of Icelandic Króna (ISK) is more than sufficient. If preferred, you may wish to set your son/daughter up with a Monzo or Revolut virtual card, which can be used for small purchases abroad without needing to carry cash

 

Medication and Health If your son/daughter requires medication, please ensure they bring enough for the full trip. Any essential medication (e.g. epipen, insulin, inhalers) must be accompanied by a doctor’s letter or prescriptions to assist with airport security. Please notify the school of any relevant medical conditions or medication in advance.
