Generally Newsworthy

Oscar Piastri, Formula One Driver with the McLaren Formula 1 team, has become a household name over the last few years, making his full time debut in 2023 and scoring his first F1 podium in Japan this year. But Piastri didn’t make his racing debut on the Formula One track, in fact, it was right here in Maryborough, when he competed in the 2013 Energy Breakthrough for Haileybury College.

With the countdown on for the 2023 Energy Breakthrough, we know our teams are working hard to finalise their trikes and pushcarts, perfect their racing lines, and get race ready. We caught up with the team from Epsom Primary School at a recent training session to see how they’re tracking for the event.

Welcome to Term 4 ... or as we like to call it 'EB Term [...]

In 2022, we introduced a new way for students to showcase their work in preparing for the Energy Breakthrough - by allowing students in the puscharts and secondary HPV events to submit their Display and Presentation virtually by video. We received some incredible submissions from our teams last year, so we’ve decided to do it again! Check out our Top ten tips for your virtual Display and Presentation.

As part of the Energy Breakthrough initiative, the Central Goldfields Shire Council is seeking responses to tenders for a wide range of EB contracts.

Over 60 Team Managers joined us for a Webinar on Thursday 8th June to receive an important 2023 Program Update. A recording and summary of the exciting new changes are now available online here!
