Dear Students, Staff, and Families of St. Gregory's College,
I hope this newsletter finds you all well and thriving. As we conclude an amazing first half of 2024, I am excited to share some of the fantastic initiatives and updates happening within our vibrant community. Your continued commitment and enthusiasm are what make St. Greg’s a place of growth, achievement, and well-being.
2024 Push up Challenge: Strengthening Bodies and Minds
3,249 push-ups. 5-28 June.
The Push-Up Challenge is a free mental health and fitness event focused on pushing for better mental health for all Australians. Participants complete 3,249 push-ups (or alternative exercises) over 24 days, representing the 3,249 lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2022.
We are thrilled to announce our participation in the 2024 Push up Challenge! This initiative is designed to promote physical fitness, mental resilience, and community spirit among our students and staff. Participants will aim to complete a set number of push ups daily, with goals tailored to different fitness levels.
The College invited all students and staff to be a part of the challenge.
With over 100 students and 22 staff, the College made a real effort to raise awareness to mental health support like Headspace and the possibility to raise funds for this super important issue.
