We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped out this year, from the fundraising to getting the kids to the event. It was greatly appreciated!
Special mention to Tony Davey and his brother who helped us build the new push cart (1st place, exceptional job!)
Hopefully this event has stoked a fire in the kids to want to pursue HPV next year.

What an amazing end to the season as our HPV teams took on Maryborough, the grand finale after 11 months of hard work from every student.
Our riders experienced the highs and lows of it all as we took to Design Tech and Scrutineering and finished an incredible 1st and 2nd taking out both positions for the very first time in the category. Our display and presentation was well received by judges as students shared their academic journey in the most amazing way, scoring full marks for their visual displays. But, it was the track where our riders fought the hardest.
As the lights went down Wednesday evening, team Adrenaline set themself with a highest ever qualifying position in 8th, but Thursday was a different story. We were hit with some fire from rival schools, mechanical failures and with a few bumps and bruises left day one in 40th position. Setting our sights on one almighty recover ride.
At 5.00am our most experienced and fastest 4 took to the track and with one of the most spectacular team efforts, rose through the field in just 6hrs to cross the line in 13th position and securing 3rd place overall in the final standings!
Our most successful HPV year ever!
A huge congratulations needs to be given to every single HPV student and their families for the tireless work on and off the track. Bring on 2025!
The awards just keep on coming in for our Energy Breakthrough team as we received word that Epsom has taken out the 2024 most sustainable school award.
