The Push-Up Challenge 2024

A CALL TO ARMS !!!!   WYNDHAM COLLEGE COMMUNITY UNITE!

Once again this year WYNDHAM COLLEGE (which includes both staff and students) is getting involved in The Push-Up Challenge from 5-28 June 2024 and would love  everyone to join us.  

The Challenge is to complete 3,249 push-ups (or 1,625 if you choose the half target) in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health. This represents the 3,249 people who died by suicide in Australia in 2022 (the most recent stats), which is why we want to push for better, and hope you will too. 

THIS YEAR WE ARE ASKING ALL PARTICIPANTS TO DONATE A MINIMUM OF $32.50 - IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE BUT WOULD LIKE TO DONATE THEN THAT’S FINE.

Sound like too many push-ups? No worries, you can do the half target and substitute push-ups for alternative exercises, like body weight squats OR sit-ups OR Lunges OR Step up’s.

LOOKING FOR ADVICE OR MOVEMENT SUGGESTIONS?  Then come and speak to the PDHPE TEAM. It’s free to take part and there’s an app where you get daily targets and mental health facts, track your progress and can check out our collective stats. 

We have created a Community group called: WYNDHAM COLLEGE 

Our participating team is called WYNDHAM COLLEGE TEAM 1 . 

By joining our Community as part of our Team, we’ll be able to track our collective stats, as well as see our own personal leader board for teams and individuals. 

To join us, join our Team through our Community page:

We hope you can join us in the push for better mental health! 

Head to The Push-Up Challenge website  if you have any questions or come and speak to the PDHPE team. 

Life is not a spectator sport….

Let’s do this together and make a difference for Mental Health
