Billeting During carnival all par@cipants are billeted with a team member from NSW. We will be trying to ensure all NSW par@cipants receive a billet, so therefore we ask you to keep this in mind when asking for your child to be billeted with a friend. This may not always be possible.
If you already know someone from NSW your child would like to be billeted with, it is important that both you and the NSW compe@tor has this clearly marked on the applica@on form to ensure this is organized. You can organize mul@ple billets but we would prefer for 2 maximum depending upon final numbers.
Bille@ng will be worked out on the following priority: -‐ Shomer Shabbat -‐ GlaU Kosher -‐ Kosher -‐ Allergies -‐ Gender -‐ Age Group -‐Sport Choices
You will be no@fied who your billet is 2-‐3 weeks before the start of carnival

East or North??? Sydney has 2 main Jewish centres. These are on the North Shore (St Ives) and Eastern Suburbs (Bondi). As there are these two main areas we will be spreading the carnival between the two. Transport is provided where required but it will be the billet family parent’s responsibility to ensure each par@cipant is where they need to be. Carnival rules state that only adults on a full license can drive the par@cipants around. Par@cipants are also not allowed to use public transport whilst at carnival.

Community Day NSW is once again con@nuing the incredible ini@a@ve undertaken at both the previous Melbourne and Brisbane carnivals. This year we will be sending all the par@cipants to one of 40 chari@es or community organiza@ons in small groups to ensure they all get the maximum out of the day. On this day the parents will have to drop off and pick up their children from the delegated organiza@on. We will try to assign your child to an organisa@on close to you. Community day is on the Friday morning of the carnival between 9am and 1pm and is compulsory. Any par@cipant who does not take part in Community Day will not be able to take part in the Mud Run.
