The Energy Breakthrough is a joint initiative of the Country Education Partnership (CEP) and the Central Goldfields Shire Council (CGSC).

Since 1991, the Energy Breakthrough has provided opportunities for students, teachers, parents and local industry to work together to design and construct a vehicle, a machine or innovation in technology that will represent an ‘energy breakthrough’.

The program is unique in that all teams must compete across three areas of assessment: Design and Construction, Display and Presentation and Trials.

The Energy Breakthrough (EB) Program is a cornerstone of our school, combining teamwork, innovation, and sustainability. It provides students with real-world, hands-on learning across STEM, Health, P.E., English, Art, and Drama.

Students are challenged academically and physically through designing, maintaining, and racing energy-efficient vehicles. Alongside endurance riding, they showcase knowledge of bike mechanics, promote sustainable practices, and present their work to judges.

This year-long program builds resilience, commitment, and life skills. It prepares students for success both in and beyond school, while strengthening our connection to the community.
