Leader Accommodation

At Dragon Study Tours, we believe that comfortable and well-equipped accommodation for group leaders is essential for the smooth running of our programmes.

Student Responsibility for Cleanliness and Tidiness

At Dragon Study Tours, we emphasise the importance of maintaining a clean and organised living space for all students. We believe that a tidy environment promotes a productive and comfortable atmosphere, contributing to a positive learning experience.

Student Responsibilities:

Personal Space: Students are expected to keep their rooms neat and tidy, taking care of their personal belongings and ensuring that their space remains organised.
Common Areas: In addition to personal responsibility, students are encouraged to maintain cleanliness in shared spaces such as bathrooms, dining areas, and lounges. This ensures that all students can enjoy a comfortable, welcoming environment.
Daily Cleaning: While rooms are cleaned daily by our staff, we expect students to do their part by keeping their space in good condition. We encourage everyone to take pride in their surroundings and foster a sense of responsibility.
Respect for Shared Spaces: Whether in the dining area, terrace, or common areas, students are asked to be mindful of their environment and clean up after themselves. This maintains a harmonious atmosphere throughout The Palm Residence.

This approach mirrors our commitment to providing a safe, organised, and respectful environment where students can focus on their learning while enjoying their stay.
