Formula Student Race Day - All Systems Go!

The pinnacle event of the year is almost upon us in the Certificate II Engineering Pathways - Formula Student program which is set to commence later this week. This Friday, we eagerly anticipate a strong performance from our Marist College Year 12 Team in the upcoming endurance race where we compete against 20 other schools in the state. Preceding the race, scrutineering day will take place on Thursday, during which the car will undergo meticulous inspection to ensure compliance and strict adherence to safety regulations. Additionally, testing will be carried out to guarantee the car's reliability for the main race. All Year 12 students enrolled in the program will have the opportunity to drive in the 6-hour endurance race, and we extend our best wishes to the following young men for a successful day.

Year 12 Certificate II Engineering Pathways Students: Jackson Beale, Nico Calabrese, Oscar Clay, Oliver Cottam, Fergus Duff, Griffyn Seagren, Kynan Hale, Leon Karena, Henry Knight, Jacob McKinnon, Munroe Wood, Darcy Woodroffe.
