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.
