VEX Robotics Competition

In a display of ingenuity and teamwork, Pymble’s all-girl Robotics teams have performed admirably across four events in the VEX Robotics Competition Over Under held at Barker College, James Ruse Agricultural High School, Parramatta Public School, and Knox Grammar School.

Ten of ours teams showcased a strong start to the season, with team 65100R, Kathy Wang (Year 7), Yucheng Xu (Year 7), Lily Xing (Year 7) clinching the Excellence award, securing a spot at the NSW State Championships.

The momentum continued at James Ruse’s competition, where team 65100A Amelia Carlan (Year 8), Nicole Zhang (Year 8), Charlotte Henderson (Year 8), Jemma Hung (Year 8), Emily Huang (Year 8) secured the Design award, advancing to the NSW States Championship. Team 65100E Soumya Shah (Year 8), Dia Verma (Year 8), and Kyraa Vig (Year 8) was honoured with the Judges Award, showcasing an inspirational and positive approach to the competition.

Lastly, at Knox, our high school teams demonstrated remarkable performance, inspiring our middle school participants with their expertise and dedication. Two teams 65100K Jenny He (Year 8), Olivia Moon (Year 8), Isabella Zhang (Year 8), Averie Sun (Year 8), Audrey Lin (Year 8) and 65100J Maya Clements (Year 8), Abani Dhaliwal (Year 8), Amrita Marwah (Year 8), Jackie Zhu (Year 8), Hargun Dhaliwal (Year 8), Grace Park (Year 8) made it to the final’s rounds, both performing with a valiant effort. Unfortunately, no teams received any accolades despite an amazing performance.

The journey doesn’t end here, as our teams also competed valiantly at Parramatta at a tournament hosted by Creator Academy, with team 65100R winning the prestigious Design Award.

As we reflect on these accomplishments, we celebrate the hard work, camaraderie, and the boundless potential of our young female roboticists.

With every competition, our girls not only learn and grow but also represent a promising future in STEM, embodying the values of collaboration, innovation, and excellence that we strive for.
