Student Achievement
23 May
The Sustainable Racing Team's (SRT) epic journey from Broken Hill to Ballarat (B2B) reached its triumphant conclusion as they arrived back home to Damascus College this afternoon. The atmosphere was electric as a sea of proud and enthusiastic staff, students, and families gathered to welcome them back with open arms.
Spanning a distance from Broken Hill to Ballarat, the B2B journey embodied the Mercy values of compassion and service, showcasing the SRT's unwavering dedication to pushing the boundaries of sustainability and raising vital awareness for cancer research. Led by Alan Strange, the team embarked on this ambitious adventure, navigating challenges and celebrating triumphs along the way.
As the team rolled back onto the Damascus College grounds, hearts swelled with pride as Yr 10 student Isabella Fensling was honored as the final rider, symbolizing the culmination of their extraordinary journey. The sight of the Buninyong-Mount Helen Fire Brigade truck, proudly bearing Connor Prunty's name, and the presence of brigade members, served as a poignant reminder of the journey's deeper purpose and profound significance to the Damascus College community.
Though the physical journey may have come to an end, the impact of their efforts continues to resonate. Generous donations to the Fiona Elsey Cancer Research Institute (FECRI) are a testament to the enduring legacy of the team's mission. You can still contribute to show your support and appreciation for their incredible journey.
Congratulations to all the members of the team for their remarkable achievement and unwavering resilience throughout the B2B journey. Your dedication, courage, and spirit exemplify the very essence of Mercy values, inspiring us all to strive for excellence and make a meaningful difference in the world.
