Cadet Class team Rival made up of Year 7 boys Xavier Papps (7/MA), Joshua Cappello (7/LE) and Dominic Young (7/PR) surprised everyone by winning the Newington College F1 in Schools competition with a car that broke the state record. Last week, Team Rival competed in the Regionals at Marrickville High School and won first place.

Team Rival with their motto “Think fast” is made up of Team Leader and Graphic Designer Xavier Papps, Car Designer, Joshua Cappello and Manufacturer Dominic Young. Each of the boys play a vital role in making their campaign successful from designing the logo, trialing car designs to setting the car to be made on a milling machine.

A big congratulations goes to Team Rival, and all the boys who competed in the school-based F1 in Schools competition. Watch this space for more news from our young stars.
