The Energy Breakthrough produces some amazing stories each year. And every person at the event has a different reason for being there, obstacles they've overcome and achievements they want to celebrate. This year we are running a special feature and want to hear from schools, participants and parents in the lead up to the event with any amazing stories, celebrations, milestones and hardships they, you or your school may have experienced. Drop us an email to media[at]eb.org.au with a few dot points about your story and we will be in touch shortly.

Over the past 27 years, we've seen many different way teams celebrate the achievements and milestones they reach at the Energy Breakthrough on Sunday afternoon. And 2017 was no different! After NINE years of participation, Year 12 student David Somers decided to celebrate his final stint at Maryborough Dan Riccardo-style: with a water-filled 'shoey'!

For this year’s Yarrawonga College teams, being a part of the 2017 RACV Energy Breakthrough is all that little more special. They are racing in loving memory of their friend Lilly Toms. Lilly was a Yarrawonga College P-12 student who was diagnosed with B-cell Leukemia in late 2016 and sadly passed away in August this year.

Our HPV teams were back on the CFA Track for the restart of the 14 hour trial after a compulsory break overnight at 6am ... and our Pushcart teams took to the RACV Track to sprint out the final element of their assessment.

First day of the 2017 RACV Energy Breakthrough kicked off in true fashion - team registrations and wristbands! Once we got the formalities out of the way, it was time to get down to business: Display & Presentation, Design & Construction, Scrutineering and the HPV Primary Practice Session. Check out all the action, photos and results.
