Push-Up Challenge 2024
THE PUSH-UP CHALLENGE 2024 is underway and SJPC staff have again registered a team. The challenge continues through until 23 June with participants completing 3249 push-ups. Tragically, this represents the number of people who died by suicide in Australia in 2022. Each day the number of push-ups is linked to a statistic or fact about mental health and we have been sharing our learning from this with the college through daily updates posted in the walk-through sub-way. The SRC team have also been rigorous with their push-ups and competitive spirit and we look forward to this challenge.
Our staff team consists of:
Maree ‘MUSCLES’ McKelvie, Claudia ‘BICEPS’ Brown, John ‘FLEX’ Phillip, Nick ‘BRAWNY’ Burke, Cory ‘BEAST’ Blight, Charles ‘BUFF’ Boshier, Nataleigh ‘BULKING’ Baxter, Brad ‘PECS’ Poidevin, Jeremy ‘THOR’ Thewlis & Jesse ‘DESTROYER’ Druzinec
All funds raised will go towards mental health and crisis support services, helping to break stigmas and provide hope to those struggling with their mental health. This is Australia's largest mental health and fitness event and since it began over 500,000 participants have raised over $40 million for mental health programs and services.
Help us push for better mental health.
