REA Update
Important Update on Our Operations and Upcoming Events
As of the end of June 2024, our funding from the Department of Defence was not renewed, which has necessitated scaling back our operations to a minimum. Despite these challenges, we remain fully committed to hosting the South Australian State Final of F1 in Schools & SUBS in Schools in August/September, as well as providing unwavering support to the Australian teams competing at the F1 in Schools World Final in November.
Due to financial constraints, REA is unable to host State Final events. However, we are actively collaborating with schools and sponsors in NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland and Western Australia to explore the possibility of hosting State Finals in these regions.
We are in ongoing discussions with various levels of government to secure funding and are simultaneously developing a proposal for a new operating model should these efforts not yield the necessary support.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding during this challenging time.

This measurement process is part of a longitudinal research program aimed at helping determine the motivational drivers of children’s career decision choices.
