Calliope State High School Gears Up for Pedal Prix Success 

Calliope State High School is accelerating student learning with an innovative program that puts engineering, teamwork, and endurance to the test. As part of their hands-on approach to education, students are designing, building, and racing their own human-powered vehicles (HPVs) in endurance competitions, equipping them with valuable technical and problem-solving skills. 

Last month, the program received a major upgrade with the arrival of a brand-new pedal car, an exciting addition that will enhance the team’s performance on the track. This new vehicle was made possible through a grant awarded to the Calliope State High School Parents and Citizens’ Association in a previous funding round. The association plays a key role in supporting extracurricular activities at the school, ensuring students have access to diverse learning experiences beyond the classroom.
