I recently reported on Brooks High School, a high school in the northern suburbs of Launceston competing in the F1 in Schools world championships, having won the Australian championship. I am thrilled to report to the parliament today that at the end of day 2 of the competition the PentaGliders were in first place, with the quickest time, and coming a close second in the reaction time in racing. The team also received positive response from the engineering judges and were happy with their presentation and portfolios. I am looking forward to hearing how the PentaGliders progressed. Amy, Tristan, Nathan and Jack—I wish you all the best.
