Last weekend, St Aidan’s proudly entered three teams into the RoboCup Junior Australian Championships. The event was bustling with activity and presented a challenging two days, featuring over 230 teams from Australia, New Zealand, and Korea. Held at the University of Queensland, St Lucia, the event ran smoothly, efficiently demonstrating the incredible work of the Queensland committee. Congratulations to all those behind the event.
The competition brought together students, teachers, and parents from across Australia, fostering connections and collaboration. It was especially nice to engage in conversations with visitors from New Zealand and Korea.
RoboCup Junior provides competition in Soccer, Rescue Maze, Rescue Line, and OnStage, with each area having different levels. It is extremely exciting!
