Another year rolls round for our greatly valued club project of the IT students visit to Sydney. We are aiming for 8 students again, with 4 being sourced from the Inverell region in the north and 4 from the West Wyalong and Forbes area in the west.
We are proposing to have the project a week later this year to try and coincide with the Vivid festival in Sydney. At this stage the students would arrive on the afternoon/evening of Sunday 26th May and leave on the morning of Friday 31st May.
I am even earlier again this year, starting the job allocation process. Once again, I have listed the jobs that need to be done below and would ask you to email me with the ones you would like to help with. It is understood that with work, family and other commitments a number of jobs are not possible for a number of members and there is no pressure to do anything you do not want to do. As you know it is generally a fun week and the kids are amazing, so definitely worth being involved if you can.
We can have up to 8 students, but it could be less.
- Pick up from Hornsby station about 4pm and deliver to host parents.
- Pick up from Strathfield Train Station usually about 7 or 8pm.
- Hosting students (specify 1 or 2 and whether male or female preferred).
- Students would be fed and looked after at hosts homes on Sunday and Monday nights at this stage.
- Driving students and attending company visits on Monday. Possibly 4 passengers. Let me know if a half day is possible rather than a full day. We need two people each day
- Attending company visits with students on Tuesday and Wednesday. No driving needed as the train will be used. Half day also possible.
- Driving students and attending company visits on Thursday. Possibly 4 passengers. Let me know if a half day is possible rather than a full day. This is generally a local day, so there may be some driving and some walking.
- On Tuesday night we propose taking the students into Sydney to see the Vivid festival. We would have tea somewhere and then a wander round the Vivid hotspots in the city. We would need 2 or 3 people to oversee this.
- On Wednesday night we propose taking the students out for tea in Macquarie Centre and then go to Bowling and Laser Tag. We would need 2 or 3 people to oversee this
- On Thursday night we will have dinner and presentations at a venue yet to be decided. We will sort out attendance closer to the time.
- Return students to Hornsby and Strathfield stations around 10am and 7am respectively.
I hope I have covered everything here. Some people have indicated they are happy to organise the same areas as they have in the past and they will be given priority. Please let me know what you would like to be involved in and what your availability is and I will come up with a jobs roster at some stage
Look forward to hearing from you.
