TRYathlon Consultation Workshops announced

We’re hosting a series of TRYathlon Workshops to improve the TRYathlon category for schools. If you’d like to have your say, join a workshop via the online form or email us today.

One of the challenges is that there is always a deadline for decisions, & one which you may have already made is about Energy Breakthrough for your school this year.

We felt that it would be really worthwhile for everyone to have a chat about your thoughts on the TRYathlon 2023 Program as it was quite a dramatic change from the past — gosh, 20+ years!

I think that we all learnt and found many aspects of the TRYathlon Program were challenging last year, including the need to move the Endurance Trial to Track 1 for various reasons. This was a major shift.

So, we would like to hear your thoughts on EBT for 2024 – and give us concepts to prepare the Energy Breakthrough Program and your thoughts on EB in general.

We also thought that it would be more beneficial for all if we broke up the Zoom meetings to the following time slots:

Primary Teams on March 4^th – 4.30pm until 5.30pm

Secondary Teams on March 6^th – 4.30pm until 5.30pm

This form has now closed.

About the Author: Mary Preston

Mary Preston has been involved with the Energy Breakthrough for many years, after her eldest son was asked “to ride in this event in Maryborough” way back in 1995. Shortly thereafter her youngest son & husband initiated the Human Powered Vehicle program at Eaglehawk Secondary College and she was suddenly the parent who organised the food and the team's uniforms! After that she decided to become part of the organising committee, has been the TRYathlon Coordinator now for many years, as well as overseeing the Junkyard Challenge. Although there is a mountain of work needed to pull the event together, she acknowledges she has met many great folk along the way and it's always good to "catch up each November”!
