Last Wednesday, 5 December 2007, Council held a special presentation ceremony to recognise and celebrate the wonderful achievements of local school studnets in the recently completed Solar Boat Challenge. This year the Penrith area was well represented at the Challenge with 11 teams from the immediate Penrith area taking part, along with another 7 from the wider Blue Mountains and Hawkesbury area.It's fair to say that each of the individual school students and teams passed the challenge, with flying colours. There were some great results from the teams including:
Primary School Wire Guided Division:
- 1st place overall - Emu Heights Public School
- 1st place in the racing component - Colyton Public School
- 2nd place in the racing component - Claremont Meadows Public School
- 1st place overall and 2nd place in the racing component of the State Primary Remote Controlled Division - Lapstone Public School
- 3rd place overall and 2nd place in the racing component of the Secondary Wire Guided Division - Colyton High School
State Secondary School Remote Controlled Division:
- 2nd place overall in the Secondary Remote Controlled Division - Springwood High School
- 3rd place in the racing component of the Secondary Remote Controlled Division - Caroline Chisholm College
