Parkes Christian School’s Senior Design and Technology class recently competed at the Moomba Birdman Rally in Melbourne. The team had a fantastic time competing and were thrilled to achieve some amazing results, taking out Longest Distance by flying an impressive 10 metres, which awarded them $3,500 for their chosen charity.
The team was also honoured with the People’s Choice Award, adding a further $1,000 to the tally. On top of their competition success, the team had raised $3,219 through their GoFundMe page, bringing the total raised to an incredible $7,719 for Little Wings.
A huge congratulations to all of the students and Mr Wynstra who worked so hard to design and build the aircraft, and a special mention to Jack, who bravely took flight for the team. A display of teamwork and willingness to take on a unique challenge.
