The skills the students are learning and the technology being developed by some of the corporate players involved in the 1994 Australian Mileage Marathon may eventually lead to savings for all of us at the petrol pumps of the future. This year's (1994) Mileage Marathon will be the sixth Ringwood Secondary College has competed in. Last year (1993) the school achieved its best result with the "Blue Thunder" team taking fourth place with a consumption rate equivalent to 877 mpg. In doing so the school beat some of the more fancied corporate entries. Laurie Bradford is the school's auto and metal trades' co-ordinator and has been involved with the school's mileage marathon attempts. Laurie believesthe reason the Blue Thunder team was so successful is the fact their vehicles were fairly simple and proved reliable.

These clippings deal with the campaign by the local council to establish a higher elementary school, or high school, in the Ringwood area. The committee had been appointed and they had secured a site of 7 ½ acres about 54 chains from the railway station. It was proposed that the Council strike a rate of 3d in the pound for 4 years to meet the majority of the building expenses. The expected growth of Ringwood's population, aided by the railway access, and the almost universal agreement by the residents that a higher school is necessary, are positive signs that the plans will come to fruition in the near future. (The Ringwood High School was opened in 1954).

Notice to parents of Form IV pupils regarding choices of subjects for the Leaving Certificate - Form V of 1968. The advice includes that the student should not be asked to make the decision entirely alone - It is a matter for serious family consultation in conjunction with the school. Students should carefully consider their natural aptitude for, and previous successes and failures in the subjects of their choice. Sometimes there are serious mistakes made, for example, the course chosen is beyond the capacity of the student, the course does not lead to the pupil's desired career, or important pre-requisites have been omitted. When selecting a course, it must be borne in mind that this selection is only provisional. Final selection will depend on examination results at the end of the year, and if there are sufficient students wishing to take a particular subject. Any student wishing to proceed to a University degree in Arts is advised to take French or German as a Leaving Certificate subject.
