We’re excited to announce a whole-school event to end Term 3 – the Heathmont College Walk-a-thon and Colour Run: Colour the Conversation. This fun-filled fundraiser will take place on the last day of Term 3 during Period 4 and 5 (finishing approx. 2:30 pm).

All money raised will support Speak and Share, a youth-focused organisation that delivers engaging mental health education to young people. Funds will go directly towards subsidising their People Before Students program for Years 8–12 students in 2026. This initiative aims to normalise conversations around mental health, encourage peer support, and strengthen our school’s wellbeing culture.
