Push-Up Challenge

Our school co-captains, Harrison and Pat, are hosting a DSC Push-Up Challenge from the 1st of June to the 25th June. The Push-Up Challenge is a free mental health and fitness event focused on pushing for better mental health for all Australians. Each year, hundreds of thousands of Australians take up the challenge to complete a set number of push-ups that represent the number of lives lost to suicide in Australia in the most recent year of available data. 

Harrison and Pat will be encouraging students to take up the challenge when they present at year level assemblies. If anybody would like to sign up to the DSC community page, follow this link:
