Clipsal Excursion

As many of you may know, the Early Learning Centre takes an excursion to the Clipsal 500 every year. We have had many queries from parents who would like to be a participant on this excursion.Three Year old and Four Year old Thursday classes will be taking a short trip to the track and, as in past years, we will sit to watch part of a race, walk to see the go carts, cross the bridge for a snack, walk through the display alley and then return back to school. It is a short trip but is usually noisy, dusty and can be warm. As in past years we will not be able to attend the Clipsal unless we have a strict ratio of 2 children to 1 adult or better. Parents who are planning to join us must buy their own tickets. PAC offers this service through the school website. Log on to http://www.pac.edu.au/ and follow the prompts through Event Bookings through to Clipsal 500 to purchase a ticket at the discounted rate of $23.50. We apologise for the short notice but this needs to be done by Thursday evening 9th Feb ! This ticket enables you to attend our excursion but also to return to the track for the remainder of the day. Parents who already have an event pass do not need to purchase an extra ticket. Parents who miss the PAC ticket deadline will be required to purchase a full price tciket at the gate on the day. This is a wonderful trip that is a particularly good opportunity for fathers to join us. We will visit the track on Thursday the 1st of March and no child will be able to attend without a signed permission slip that teachers will distribute closer to the date. In the intervening time if you have an interest in joining us please make your interest known to Mrs Dry via e-mail at jdry@pac.edu.au
Thankyou
