Billy Cart Grand Prix
38th Annual Billy Cart Grand Prix
Oaklands Parade played host to an exhilarating event on Thursday 15 June, which proved to be a thrilling experience for all participants. The event, exclusively open to Prep School boys in Years 4 to 6, saw strong encouragement for them to form teams comprising of one driver and two pushers to take part in the competition.
The focus of the event lay in fostering teamwork and providing an opportunity for boys and their families to engage in an enjoyable and enriching experience. The students were encouraged to construct their own billy carts, with the boys actively involved in the entire process. This hands-on experience proved to be not only valuable but also a source of great fun for all involved.
The event featured three prize categories for each year group. The categories included ‘Most Creative or Original Cart’, which acknowledged innovative design and construction; ‘Best Themed/Dressed Race Team’, which recognised teams that displayed exceptional creativity and coordination in their overall appearance; ‘Fastest Cart’, with a reminder that speed is still the key factor of the Billy Cart Grand Prix.
Congratulations to the award-winning teams and to all from the Prep School on a successful day to wrap up Term 2.
