CO-CURRICULAR HIGH SCHOOL Pedal Prix The Pedal Prix season has now begun, with our Senior Elite Boys “Team Focus” competing at McNamara Park in Mount Gambier. (Check out the race report on the adjacent page.) Pedal Prix is the fastest sport at Norwood Morialta High School with a long and growing tradition of success across all year levels. It is a sport for all students from Years 8 to 12 and parents can get involved as well. Participating students compete within the Uni SA Australian Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) Super Series and will take part in two 6-hour races and one 24 hour race during Terms 2 and 3. This is a great chance to meet new people, have memorable experiences, challenge yourself and compete in a team environment against over 200 other school and community teams.

Mt Gambier Race Report by Darcy Team Focus – Number 41 Riders: Darcy (Year 12), Noah (Year 11), Aaron (Year 11), Kawindu (Year 11), Harrison (Year 10) and Thomas (Year 10). The season for Norwood Morialta High School’s fastest sport began on the weekend with the elite team, Team Focus, travelling to Mount Gambier in the State’s South East. Here they participated in the first round of the UniSA Australian HPV Super Series under race number 41 in the senior secondary category. The race was on a 2.4km circuit around McNamara Park, famous for tight corners and exceptionally high speeds. The team faced competition from Glenunga, Mt Barker and Seaview High Schools as well as the 73 other teams competing. From the get go, Focus ridden by Darcy started strong, settling in second. With an amazing effort from Noah with over an hour in the trike, the team moved into first place. The boys (Aaron, Kawindu, Thomas and Harrison) held and blew out this lead until the end finishing an amazing 14 laps ahead (31 kilometres) of their nearest senior secondary school competition. In addition, the team finished 11th overall and picked up the fastest lap in their category thanks to Noah (averaging over 46km/h). The team has taken confidence from their win, however have come away with many lessons to learn from and improve. The next race will be take place in 6 weeks in the regional town of Loxton where the boys will be going for 2 from 2. Chapeau Focus, may this be the start of a super season!
