Welcome to November and welcome to the 2022 Energy Breakthrough

For over 30 years, teams of school students have been travelling to Maryborough to participate in the Energy Breakthrough (EB). After two interrupted years due to COVID, we cannot wait to see you there again!

For many of Team Managers, this is the first time they have ever led a team of students to the EB. For others, they are experienced campaigners eager to get into the swing of things. For most students they are completely new to all of this!

No matter where you’re coming from, our EB team are putting everything in place to ensure that you and your students have a fantastic time in Maryborough.

Summary of Program Changes for 2022

After two years of COVID interruptions, we have implemented a series of new initiatives:

  • Moved our EB Admin Hub to the Princes Park Clubrooms from the Maryborough Tennis Centre;
  • Extended the HPV Primary Trial by one hour on the Friday evening (finishes at 9pm instead of 8pm) and also shortened it by one hour on Saturday morning (finishes at 11am instead of 12noon);
  • Moved the Pushcarts to a two-day program over Wednesday and Thursday;
  • Added a Robotics Demonstration Challenge to the Friday program;
  • Offered Video Display & Presentations for ALL Pushcarts and selected HPV Secondary teams;
  • Moved the TRYathlon Practice Session from late Friday night to early Friday morning; and
  • Brought Scouts Australia and Transurban on board to host a fantastic series of free interactive STEM exhibits in ‘EB Central’ on Friday and Saturday 10am – 5pm.

Working With Children Check (WWCC) Reminder

Please note that all Team Managers and all adults in supervising roles with students during the event are required to have a current Working With Children Check (WWCC) or current Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) registration. The EB event officials do not need to record evidence of all adults WWCC status, however, the onus is on Team Managers to ensure teams and any support crew members are compliant.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our team via enquires@eb.org.au or the contacts listed on our website ‘Contact’ page: https://www.eb.org.au/contact/

Thank you for your dedication and participation – and we really are looking forward to seeing you at Maryborough.
