STEM Racing National Finals

Old Collegian Mitch Grant Fuels Team Vincere’s Dreams Ahead of National Finals

Team Vincere (Year 8) is proud to announce Highway Tyres as its major sponsor as the team prepares to compete at the 2025 STEM Racing National Finals - hosted right here at St Bede’s College from 30 May to 1 June.

At the heart of this exciting partnership is Old Collegian (Class of 1996) Mitch Grant, CEO of Highway Tyres. Mitch was quick to lend his support when the team approached him. 

“St Bede’s helped shape who I am. The values of faith, service, and striving for excellence that I learned here still guide my life and my business. Supporting Vincere is a chance to give back and help students live those same values.” Mitch Grant

The Vincere team, comprising Christian A, Samuel S, Oliver S and Hugh J earned its place at the National Finals after an impressive second-place finish at the 2024 State Finals. Recognising the alignment between their mission and Mitch’s values, the team reached out with confidence.

“We chose Mitch because he knows what it means to be part of the St Bede’s community. He gets our values - faith, achievement, service - and he saw the potential in us and wanted to be part of our journey.” Christian A, Vincere’s Project Manager. 

The sponsorship is more than financial; it includes mentorship and guidance from Mitch and his team. 

“We want the boys to succeed not just on the track, but in life. And it’s clear they’re racing with purpose.” Mitch Grant

Vincere is also proudly supported by Tesch Electrics and LeMans Entertainment, who have joined the team’s journey to the Nationals.
