ABOUT US:
Maiden Gully Primary School is proud of the success of our Human Powered Vehicle Team that power our two trikes, "Envy" and "Miss Zippy".

The dedication and commitment of the team members, families and staff involved and how they uphold our school values are something we pride ourselves on. 

Previous years have seen Maiden Gully Primary School have seen some great success throughout our racing season and this year is no different. We work incredibly hard to maintain a high standard of performance and a strong team ethic whilst achieving our goals of having fun and building strong teams that demonstrate initiative, respect, responsibility and inclusion.

As a school community, our biggest reward is watching students breakthrough their comfort zones and take pride in recognising that their hard work pays off and that each team member has played an integral role in the success of the overall team. 

Our staff volunteer their time, because we believe in the value of the program and the benefits it provides to the students involved.

Race 1 - Kilsyth
26th May 2019

OFF AND RACING....
Our students have started an earlier racing season than usual after we decided to join the Victorian HPV Series this year. 

Their first event was held in Kilsyth over the weekend, and after only training for 3 weeks and for many a first race, coming 4th and 7th in the Junior Secondary Category was a great result!

Well done to White Hills Primary for taking out the win! We have always loved the healthy and friendly rivalry between our two teams as it keeps us working harder!

Thanks to our parents for their support especially those that spent countless hours assisting us to be race ready. 

Also a big thank you to our sponsors for this year:
- Wizarty Signs
-Adrian Bassett Homes
- Bendigo Stadium
- Macks Office Supplies
-Jagcor


PREVIOUS TESTIMONIAL
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
We truly appreciate this letter from one of our parents, Amy Kinder who has had two children participate in the program over a 4 year period:

Please pass this onto Craig and other teachers.
My kids have had the most enjoyable time whilst riding in the HPV teams. They've enjoyed the social time, the exercise, the laughs, the memories, the crashes, the holidays but most importantly the opportunities they had to grow as people.

They've learnt a wonderful work ethic, strengthened their commitment to team work and can better understand the value of offering support to others and definitely all of the loving support that they've been blessed to receive whilst participating.

For me...it's been great fun and a big part of our last 4 years. My favourite part of it however, was the level of personal growth I've been proud to watch in my own children, which was outstanding...but also what I've observed of the whole crew. I've been as proud of every child over the last 4 years, finding their own inner superstars, learning their strengths and unlimited possibilities through great personal and physical tests... and then crashing through them.

We have so many fond memories and stories that we won't ever forget. I was grateful to be there to see so many kids dragged out of trikes after riding through their limits...physical and mental. Amazing because so many adults have not been in that zone before.

Imogen was excellent at it. Inspiring me.
In a completely different realm I've watched Gee come to realise that although she learns and achieves things in her very long stride...she has got so much more untapped potential that can be achieved, if she works harder and digs deeper. It's an extremely proud moment when you see your kids experience these life lessons and achievements within the confines of a fun loving community.

Couldn't have gotten more out of this HPV experience if we had tried. Amazing. Thanks for the work of Jess, Paz, Ann, Britt, Russell, John and Jordan who have been spectacular over the last 4 years. Love ya work gang! xxxxx
