AIDEN SPECTOR BLAZING A TRAIL IN THE GO KART WORLD
A Year 8 student, Aiden Spector has been actively pursuing professional go karting as a member of the Oakleigh Go Kart Racing Club. Aiden recently won a championship in the junior category at the same club where Oscar Piastri who is now a Formula 1 driver, began his career.
Aiden attended a dinner presentation on Saturday, to receive his trophy.
A note from Aiden:
My name is Aiden Spector, and I have been racing Go Karts professionally for a year and a half. I managed to win the Oakleigh Go Kart Championships this year and I’m in one of the best karting teams in Australia. Next year I will be racing at National level. In the upcoming years I hope to go to Europe and race against the best drivers in the world and maybe step foot into an actual race car.
Congratulations on your award Aiden. We look forward to hearing what 2025 brings.
SHARK TANK ENTREPRENEURSHIP SUCCESS
Jaimen Shamoun (Year 11) is a dynamic and visionary young entrepreneur with innovative ideas and relentless drive.
Earlier this year Jaimen and his sister Jemma Shamoun (Class of 2019) launched Ramla Body featuring the world's first sand-repellent. The innovative product sold out within an hour of its launch and took social media by storm boasting over 10M+ views on all platforms within a short period of time.
Last night, Jaimen and Jemma featured on the season finale of Shark Tank on Channel 10. They delivered a professional and engaging pitch, gaining the attention of three sharks. After some tense negotiation, they landed a deal with not one but two incredible sharks - Maxine Horne and Jane Lu!
