Our Event Manual provides schools with all the key details and links to the information you need for this year’s Energy Breakthrough event in Maryborough.

The successful running of the event depends on our Team Manager’s reading all of the relevant information and passing the relevant details on to all of your team members, other Team Managers at your school, parents and support staff.

Please assist us by forwarding this Event Manual on to your school community.
