Highvale Secondary College is a public school in Melbourne’s south eastern suburbs. Our robotics program is proudly student led, where students design, build, and code their own robots to compete in the VEX Robotics Competition. Our team recently qualified to compete in the VEX World Championship in the United States, and we are looking for community support to make it happen.

The best way to capture what this opportunity means to students is in their own words:
Who are we?
We are a team of students competing in the VEX V5 Robotics Competition with a strong passion and dedication for robotics. In this competition, we design, build and program high-performing robotics while developing real-world engineering, teamwork and problem-solving skills. Recently qualified to represent Australia in the VEX Worlds Championship in St Louis, USA in 2026, we strive to achieve a good result for the country.
