    Today, the team has departed for the United States to compete in the World Championships. We were able to reach this important milestone thanks to the incredible support and encouragement from so many people. When we reached our donation goal of $25,000 through Give a Little, the entire team and everyone involved celebrated with great joy. We are truly grateful from the bottom of our hearts — thank you so much for making this possible.

    Team 2915E will be competing from May 6–8 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas. They will participate in the VEX V5 High School category (VEX V5RC (HS)).

  • Just a little more to go until we reach our goal!

      11 April 2025

    We continue to receive so many generous donations and encouraging messages, and we truly cannot thank you enough.

    There are now less than three weeks to go until our departure! We're nearly reaching our goal!

    We would like to thank Chris Keall for writing our article for NewZealand Herald.

    Our robotics teacher, Craig Yearbury, was interviewed by Lisa Owen on RNZ.

    On Sunday, April 13, we’ll be holding a sausage sizzle at New World Green Bay from 11am to 4pm.

    And on ANZAC Day, we’ll be at New Lynn Bunnings from 1pm, hosting both a sausage sizzle and a bake sale.

    We’d love to see you there if you’re able to come by!

  • Almost there- Let's get Lynfield College Robotics on the world stage

      31 March 2025

    We have increased our fundraising goal because the total cost for our team and chaperones—eight people in total—to participate in the World Championship in Texas is at least $40,000. This includes travel expenses, accommodation, competition entry fees, and equipment shipping costs.

    Raising our goal will help reduce the financial burden and ensure that our students can take advantage of this incredible opportunity. We truly appreciate your continued support!
