We are now halfway through the 2023 Push Up Challenge! Our Prefect group have engaged our school community to be part of the Push for Better Foundation's annual push up challenge fundraiser. The aim of the challenge is to engage and educate people in mental and physical health as well as raise awareness of mental health issues affecting everyday Australians. From June 1-23, collectively we will be completing 3144 push-ups, each representing a life lost to suicide in 2021. Every morning, students are advised of the number of push-ups each roll call completes for the day, along with some points highlighting things we can do to improve our mental health and initiate discussions about mental health.
Across the challenge period, we will be collecting loose change from roll calls to donate to the Push For Better Foundation. The roll call who raises the most money will be treated to a catered party in the last week of term. You can also support our fundraising efforts by donating to our Prefect GoFundMe page, which goes directly to the foundation. If you would like your donation to go towards the efforts of a particular roll call, feel free to quote the roll call number in the comments. https://gofund.me/72d12f49
