Students from Holy Spirit College recently took part in the Racing Australia competition at the Mackay Showgrounds as part of the College's STEM extra-curricular program.

🏎️ Fast and Fabulous (Emma, Amelia and Tayla)
🏎️ Econitro (Jayden, George and Lachlan)
🏎️ Horizon Racers (Hudson, Griffin and Lincoln)

A special congratulations to Horizon Racers, who achieved an impressive 3rd Place in the 3DP Class.

The event provided students with the opportunity to put their STEM learning into practice while gaining insight into the technologies, processes and careers that drive the industry.

Congratulations to all students involved on the way they represented the College throughout the competition.
