Treadmill Challenge

On Tuesday 7 May, students and teachers of Kew High School showcased their athletic prowess and hidden dress-up talents in the inaugural “School Treadmill Challenge” in aid of Very Special Kids. In what can only be described as a herculean performance, the Kew High community raised an amazing $3,796 on the day. This amount was then matched by Daimler (event sponsor), who contributed $10,000 in recognition of schools participating in this first-time event. This money will go towards children and their families dealing with life threatening illnesses in Victoria.

For the duration of the day, 4 treadmills continued non-stop with participants running for 15 minutes at a time. It was a great opportunity to generate some friendly competition amongst the houses, to see some of our teachers in a different light and, of course, raise money and awareness for such an important cause.

This was a huge success for a first time event and one we look forward to supporting well into the future
