Fitness test and some riding in the rain

This week in Pedal Carts saw students involved in some Fitness Testing activities. This week's fitness test involved a 15 minute run around the KLC, in which students attempted to complete as many laps as possible.
Generally most students improved on the results that they obtained in first term and should be congratulated on their achievements.
The Ooo La Laas continued on with the painting of their vehicle and putting their designs onto the vehicle.

Another week at Wedderburn

Another week down and another week closer to the event.

This week saw a few things happen.

We started organising our shirts that we will be wearing down at Maryborough

The Mad Krumpets are going a Yellow Colour

The Ooo la las a lovely light shade of pink

and the Predators a navy blue.

Currently the teams have been trying to recruit teachers to be team managers and help organise the teams during the weekend.

Our new vehicle

Check out some pics of our new vehicles.

Slow week for the Human Powered Vehicles

This week has been a fairly slow week for the teams.

Tuesday saw a great deal of the class off on an excursion to Melbourne which left only a handful of students behind.

However it did give a chance to some of the students to get some work done, with all 3 teams getting underway with the design process.

So far the Mad Krumpets have managed to produce a logo for there vehicle and are currently redesigning it.

Next week will see some of our students out selling raffle tickets for a trailer load of wood which has been generously donated by the Lions Club of Wedderburn.

Don't forget to buy a ticket if your out and about and support our team.

This Week in HPV

Wow its been a few weeks since we've updated the old blog, so i guess its as good as time as any to have a crack.

Everything is coming along nicely for the students. We have semi-organized ourselves into 3 teams.

We have the Oolalah's which is the all girl's team

We have the Madcrumpts which is a combo of Year 9 and 10 boys

and we have the Predators which is another combo of Year 9 and 10 boys.

The Oolalah's have been busy painting their vehicle, which is going to be a lovely shade of pink.

As well as painting and designing their vehicles, the students have been out practising on the vehicles, doing some endurance work as well as some tighter obstacles courses.

On the issue of fundraising, our Easter Egg Raffle was a great success, and this term we are involved in the Golden Circle Fun Run, in which students who raise funds win prizes.

Hopefully I'll continue to get this updated in the next few weeks to let you know whats going on..

2007 Begins

Welcome back to 2007.

Wedderburn College is embarking on the RACV Energy Breakthrough with one of the most ambitious HPV projects ever.

At the moment we are looking at entering 3 teams, with the possibility of one team consisting entirely of girls, which would be a first for the HPV program at Wedderburn College.

To achieve our aims we desperately need sponsorship. If you are able to assist please contact the college on the following email address hpv@wedderburn-college.vic.edu.au

The day after

Well after a busy weekend its back to school for the victorous Wedderburn College "Try-athalon" team. Back commencing their week of Year 9 and 10 exams.
A special assembly will be held later in the week.

Well done to everyone on a fantastic achievement.

I'll hopefully have some more details for you in the not too distant future.
