Windsor Gardens Vocational College has entered the International Pedal Prix 2+ Endurance race for the last 12 years. Most years we have entered between 2 to 3 vehicles. To date the College has won over 38 trophies. These trophies include:

  • Best presented vehicle and crew
  • Design awards
  • Innovation awards
  • Endurance awards

    One year we won the Inaugaral Innovationa award presented by the family of the mentor who started the event.

Last year we had 2 old scholar teams entered by students as far back as 2001. This was great experience for our younger students.

Students are involved in various ways:

  • In design and construction
  • Sponsorship and fundraising
  • Training as pit crew only
  • Training as riders only

    This year we are entering 2 pedal vehicles - one will be built new - Pedal Prix starts Term 1. Design will start Term 1 on Thursday nights after school or other negotiated times.

Pedal Prix is offered as a subject this year at Year 10 level under the curriculum area of Design and Technology. Students will be involved in the design and production of a light weight Pedal Prix vehicle. Multiple vehicles will be produced as the year progresses, using a variety of materials and processes.
