The RoboCup Junior Australia (RCJA) 2025 National Competition concluded in Canberra last weekend.
A team consisting of Neil C, a Y4 student from JCS and two students from St Ives North Public stood out in the Primary Rescue Line division, advancing to the finals with the second-highest score after eight preliminary rounds and ultimately securing second place overall in the finals.
Their robotics teacher Mr Richard Mei said it was the first time his students had achieved such an outstanding result at the national level.
“They distinguished themselves from 55 teams from across Australia and earned their place in this prestigious and professional robotics competition,” he said.
“I’ve got to know Neil since he was in Lower 1st and he has followed my robotics program for many years now. He has shown impressive focus and commitment to learning. His success in this competition is a true reflection of his hard work and persistence.”
