FLYING HIGH… The Parkes Christian School entry at the Moomba Bird Rally as it lands in the Yarra River. They have won their category five times already.
It’s almost time to take a leap and fly again for the Parkes Christian School Senior Design and Technology class.
They have been busy planning and building their plane that will fly into the Yarra River on Sunday, 8th March at the Moomba Birdman Rally in Melbourne for the sixth time.
For the last five years they have won their categories and learned a lot about teamwork, engineering and the power of flight.
This will be the second year where participants in the school category can raise funds for themselves to help them build the flying machine and develop technology. Every dollar raised for their team will be points earned that will go towards the final score and could help lead them to victory again!
The Parkes Christian School team is counting on the local community to support them in this endeavour and they have a fundraising page at this link: https://birdmanrally2020.gofundraise.com.au/page/ParkesChristian
Donations can also be made directly at the school office on 6862 4164 until 4th March. The team’s progress and success can be followed on the school’s Facebook page.
