Evans Pennaeth / Headteacher Fax 01745 815052 23th October 2019 I am delighted to confirm that ‘Team Quantum’ have achieved the baseline fundraising target for the F1 in Schools World Finals in Abu Dhabi! The car design is more refined than it was at all of other stages of the competition, their marketing and social networking strategy is being implemented and they have raised a staggering amount of funds whilst maintaining their enthusiasm and dedication to the project. Some of the team’s project elements really stand out as being innovative and at the cutting edge of technology and engineering respectively and their use of Virtual and Augmented Reality promises to be a stand out element of Wales’ championship bid. However, much work is still to be done over the next few weeks. They will need to assemble the prototype cars and test them, finalise the completion portfolios and prepare the World Finals presentation, in addition to the design and logistics of the pit display. I continue to work with the team to ensure that they are as prepared and competitive as possible and the workload will continue to increase (as expected) with less than a month until we fly out to compete at the highest level in the largest competition of its kind in the world. Their achievement is a testament to the team’s exceptional hard work and efforts and it is our ambition to build on the levels that the team have been pushed towards over the last two years. We have now booked the flights, accommodation, grand prix tickets and paid the registration fee. I am pleased to confirm that Mrs. Chapman will be seconding the trip and will be there to assist the team in Abu Dhabi. I would like to arrange a brief meeting at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday 7th November in school to discuss the preliminary schedule and other relevant arrangements. If this time is inconvenient please contact me at school and we will do our best to re-arrange or I will be happy to go over the details with you at another more convenient time. Could you also please ensure that you bring along your child’s passport so that I can take a copy of them. Please find attached an itinerary for the World Finals which covers the main times and events for the visit. F1 in Schools will provide detailed schedules for the competition and activities covered in the registration fee. If you have any questions about this please let me know. I am delighted that all of the pupils will have parental support in Abu Dhabi. Your backing for our F1 project has had a real impact on the pupils and continues to instill in them amazing attitudes and an exceptional work ethic. To follow on from our last meeting, I would like to clarify that for those times when the competition is active from 20th November 2019 until 29th November 2019 the team will be under the supervision of the school and at those times that team members will share accommodation with their families they will be under parental supervision. The return transport to Denbigh has been organised and will be supervised by Denbigh High School. Follow us on and on @DenbighHighSch e-bost / e -ma il: [email protected] www.denbighhighschool.co.uk Finally, I would be grateful if you would complete the attached EV4 form and return it to me. Should you have any questions regarding any of the details for the trip please do not hesitate to contact me and I look forward to seeing you on 7th November.
