The Australian Grand Prix Corporation is giving students the chance to experience first hand the wonders of MotoGP by offering registered school groups free admission to the event.

Many local schools have taken up the offer, as well as schools from further afield. Already signed on are Melbourne schools from Albert Park, Melton, Brighton, Templestowe and Pakenham. Schools from Geelong, Orbost, Sale, Emerald, Leongatha and Traralgon will also be attending.

Classes will be provided with activities to undertake on the circuit as well as ideas for pre-and post-event projects intended to complement the school curriculum.

Anyone wishing to register their school should visit www.grandprix.com.au or email schools@grandprix.com.au for more information.
