The Newington F1 in Schools Team has recently qualified for the National Championships, which are to be held in Adelaide in Term 1 2017.

The F1 in Schools Program is not just about having the fastest model car – it is also about engineering, marketing, entrepreneurship and self-belief. In short it is about Discovering what’s Possible…

As part of the Program, teams are expected to self-fund all activities, although, as usual, their parents are there as a ‘last port of call’ when all else fails.

The six member Newington Team is offering sponsorship opportunities to help fund the following:-

Travel Expenses:

Courtesy of a very generous donation from Tony Bosman (ON 1972), the F1 Team’s flights and accommodation have now been covered.

• Flights – $1,800 ($300 per person x 6)
• Accommodation – $600 ($200 per night for 3 nights)

Information and Display Booth:

• Transportation – $100
• Corflute panels – $400

Uniforms:

• 3 sets of uniforms x 6
  • Pit Uniforms – $400
  • Casual Uniform – $250
  • Formal – custom ties – $200

F1 Model Car:

• Bearings – $250
• Wheels – $200
• Foam blocks x 5 – $10

Your support can be by way of direct funding of one of the above expenses or an overall sponsorship amount. Either way, your support will be recognised on both the car and the Information Booth signage. Your donation can be made by way of the AISUSA Foundation to secure US tax deductibility.

.

The F1 in Schools Competition is a big deal with backing from some of the major technology companies in the world. Two years ago, Newington made the World Finals in Dubai, so your sponsorship may well be recognised worldwide.

Any and all support is greatly appreciated. Please contact ONU Alumni Officer Tracy Wood at twood1@newington.nsw.edu.au or on 612 9568 9544 if you can help.
