Mortgage Choice Sponsorship Announcement
Annesley's Challenge 2007
Annesley College, which has been involved with the World Solar Challenge since 1990, is entering a race car nicknamed ‘Lissie’ in the 2007 challenge, supported by an all-girl race team of 10 Annesley students and four college staff.
Annesley College has been an enthusiastic competitor in the World Solar Challenge since 1990. Our team for the 2007 Darwin to Adelaide race is the only ‘all girls’ team’ to contest this event.
In 2003 a new ‘Greenfleet Class’ was introduced, allowing for a whole range of alternative energy vehicles and we are proud to have won the inaugural Greenfleet Award for best educational program.
Together with the financial backing of Mortgage Choice, Annesley College’s challenge team will continue its journey to explore alternative fuel sources for transport in this bi-annual, internationally renowned event.
Annesley College is excited about the sponsorship agreement offered by Mortgage Choice which will greatly assist with the development of a new self-sufficient vehicle for the forthcoming race. This sponsorship will assist our girls to help break the reliance on fossil fuels and slow global warming!
As Mr Chris Selwood, Director of the World Solar Challenge, said: “Annesley College has been an inspiration to schools and colleges throughout the world”.
The World Solar Challenge runs from Darwin to Adelaide from October 21- 28, 2007.
