We have an early bird rate to encourage you to register now. This will be replaced by the normal price at a date we have determined but are not releasing – we don’t want everyone registering the day before the early bird rate stops – it helps us greatly to get a feel for numbers sooner than later which is why we have introduced this rate. Our advice is register NOW!
Airfare Options There are three op\ons for travel to and from Perth for Junior Carnival
1. Flights are booked through Maccabi NSW by checking the op,on on the sign on form for flights to be included. We will then organize a seat on our group flight for you child/ren
2. You can book a seat on our group flight using your own points or by booking directly yourself if you feel you can get a beXer price. All par,cipants who travel on our flights will be under our supervision. Check for flights as these details are not included on the sign on form.
3. You can make your own travel arrangements but we cannot be responsible for your child/ren on these flights and it will be up to them to ensure they arrive on ,me and at any pre-‐arranged mee,ng spots should it be possible. We don’t prefer this op,on unless they are travelling with family who are staying in Perth over this period. Check for flights as these details are not included on the sign on form.

-‐ Perth carnival management is responsible for organizing the bille,ng.
-‐ You will be advised you of your child’s billet only a few days before carnival.
