World Champion Formula 1 motor racing driver Jackie Stewart once said: \u201cIt is not always possible to be the best, but it is always possible to improve your own performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a motto students from two Carinity Education schools may have in mind when they strive for their best on the racetrack next year.\u00a0 But rather than horsepower, they\u2019ll be travelling around circuits with human power.\u00a0 Students from Carinity Education schools in Hervey Bay and Rockhampton are getting ready to hit the road as part of the Human Powered Vehicle (HPV)\u00a0circuit.<\/p>\n

An extension of the schools\u2019 health and physical education and engineering learning strands, HPV racing sees students design, build, test and race pedal-powered vehicles.\u00a0 Carinity Education Rockhampton students will compete in Human Powered Vehicle races for the first time in 2020.<\/p>\n

Last year the first team of Carinity Education Glendyne students dubbed \u2018Team Velocity\u2019\u00a0debuted in a HPV competition<\/a>, contesting three races around Central Queensland.\u00a0 The program culminated in Team Velocity completing the Fraser Coast Technology Challenge \u2013 the biggest HPV event for schools in Queensland which sees students pedal vehicles around the streets of Maryborough for 24 hours \u2013 in a borrowed vehicle.\u00a0 \u201cAt the beginning of 2018 a local volunteer who owns a HPV approached Glendyne about being involved. Over time, we realised the students were interested and enjoyed the activity,\u201d\u00a0Carinity Education Glendyne<\/a>\u00a0Principal Dale Hansen\u00a0says.<\/p>\n

Dale says participation in the HPV program \u201cmotivated students to improve their attendance and behaviour.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cBeing a part of HPV in most schools is for those who are \u2018achievers\u2019 and \u2018committed\u2019 athletes in school sport. It has some prestige attached being part of the HPV team,\u201d Dale says. \u201cStaff, parents and students see this as a positive activity, and have been willing to engage and support. Some parents attended to watch the races and cheer on the students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Team manager Mark Macrae says the students \u201covercame a lot of fears\u201d going into the\u00a0Fraser Coast Technology Challenge<\/a>.\u00a0 \u201cThey developed teamwork, an interest in health and fitness and comradery amongst themselves in supporting one-another,\u201d Mark says.\u00a0 \u201cThey were accepted as colleagues by other school students in the HPV community and they can hold their head high given over 100 cars competed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Philosophies of the HPV program align with Carinity Education\u2019s motto \u201cBelieve, Belong, Become\u201d and enables teachers to \u201cmap curriculum and learning into something the students\u00a0enjoy\u201d.\u201cThere is a range of embedded learning through assembly, maintenance, training and competing in HPV. This includes teamwork, communication, literacy, planning, health and physical education, mechanical and engineering skills, and goal setting,\u201d Dale says.<\/p>\n

Carinity Education Rockhampton Principal Lyn Harland says her students, many of whom have an aptitude for vocational training, were looking forward to prepping a single-seat vehicle for optimum on-track performance.\u00a0 \u201cOur cohort loves the hands-on work and this is a way to help them achieve a sense of completing and competing together. It\u2019s something they could continually work on and tinker away at,\u201d Lyn says.\u00a0 \u201cThere are many science and mathematical components involved in the curriculum for our\u00a0students to consider also.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two Carinity Education teams will contest the\u00a0Queensland HPV Super Series<\/a>, which this year featured eight races on circuits between Mackay and Ipswich, including the famous Willowbank Raceway drag racing track.\u00a0 For Carinity Education Rockhampton students the races will be the first time they have competed against other schools in a sporting event.\u00a0 \u201cBy participating in events including other schools we hope our students can obtain a wider sense of community, learn how to work as a team and have fun doing it,\u201d Lyn says.\u00a0 \u201cGiving students the belief that they can achieve in a team environment, and a feeling that they belong in a collective of like-minded young people working towards a shared goal, gives them a sense of achievement, self-belief and empowerment.\u201d<\/p>\n
