We are very proud to announce that both teams Development Class (Junior) and Professional Class (Senior) were successful in securing the State Champions Award at the F1 State Champions Competition. Both teams have been shining examples of the school values and they are beyond excited that their hard work has paid off. They will have a relatively small amount of time now (until the end of February) to get ready for the National competition in Adelaide (so if anyone knows of any potential sponsors we are all ears!).

Fast Forward (Professional Class Senior Division) - Mitchell Collins, Sharon George, Jake Roberts, Koby Scott and Manning Worsley took out the State Champions Title, Grand Prix Race Winners and Fastest Lap (in their class).

Techno Drift (Development Class Junior Division) - Bryce Worsley, Caleb Pedler, Joshua Farrar, Thomas Atkinson, Cristopher Thompson and Julius Gaidier, as support team member, took out the following: State Champions, Knock Out Champions, Best Engineered Car, Best Manufactured Car, Grand Prix Race Winners, Best Engineered CAD, Best Reaction Time and Fastest Lap.

Both Mr Muller and I are really happy they have represented themselves so well and are a credit to themselves and the College. Please give them a big pat on the back as they definitely deserve it!

They won their Obstacle Race and came second in the Time Trial which meant they were placed 33 out of 62 on the grid for the 8 hour race. Unfortunately we suffered two malfunctions in the first two laps so immediately slipped back to last and the boys had to push very hard to make ground. They fought valiantly and made their way back up to 42 by race end by focusing on the team in front of them and catching them. All up they covered 180 kms over the 8 hours despite the back wheel falling off twice and some almighty crashes. The boys represented the school values magnificently and I am very proud of the way they worked hard as a team.
