The Push-Up Challenge 

The Push For Better Foundation runs The Push-Up Challenge and aims to raise awareness, engage and educate people and raise funds for mental health. The Push-Up Challenge runs through June; 3,139 push-ups are done throughout the 24 days to represent the 3139 lives lost to suicide in 2020. Working with the SRC and the Wellbeing teams, we ran a week of doing push-ups during form assemblies. Students did as many push-ups, sit-ups, standing push-ups, step-ups or wall presses as they could. The SRC ran a bake sale at lunch to raise money for the challenge. 

All the funds raised were donated to The Push For Better Foundation, Headspace National Youth Mental Health Foundation and Lifeline Australia to run vital mental health programs and save lives.

The form with the winning total won a pizza lunch for their form.
