Visit from the SPCC students who won the 2020 Subs in Schools Competition

BlueZone Group was lucky enough this month to host the St Philip’s Christian College (SPCC) Newcastle students who won the 2020 SUBS in Schools Technology Challenge. The students, along with their teacher Dave Bonzo, visited our site to personally thank the engineers who assisted them with their project.

BlueZone engineers acted as mentors and assisted the SPCC Newcastle students designing and building a Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROV) that they operated themselves. We are all very proud of the work the students did and of what they achieved.

The SUBS in Schools challenge is the result of a collaboration with Re-Engineering Australia, the Department of Defence and industry stakeholders including the ASC and Saab Australia. SPCC Newcastle was supported by Regional Development Australia (RDA) through their ME Program which is funded by Australia’s Department of Defence and aims to connect students with the defence industry to prepare them for a future in STEM jobs. BlueZone would like to thank Regional Development Australia (RDA) for their continued support of our students in the Hunter.
