Walkathon 2025

Donations portal closing tonight - Tuesday 19th

https://events.humanitix.com/2025-walkathon

What a spectacular day we enjoyed last Sunday for Walkathon 2025. The P&F is proud to have the very special opportunity to host this event -  our Marist family all moving together for the benefit of our whole school community.

A warm and sincere thank-you to each of the groups that make Walkathon a reality - Gallipoli Barracks with ADF and QPS volunteers, staff and students of MCA, and parents. The P&F thank every single one of you that helped in any way, walked the course or came along to support and enjoy the day.

One of these key groups are the parents who make a commitment to help through the roles listed in the SignUp sheet. Many of the people listed below volunteered multiple hours, jumped in where they could see a gap, or stayed back well beyond their initial commitment to make sure everyone had what they needed to enjoy their day. Thank you!

Paul Rabie, Julia O’Rourke, Brendan Lynn, Stephen Ball, Sue Hartfiel, Adam Bennett
