Stryde4 Wrap Up

On 24 October, over 720 students and 100+ staff gathered as the sun rose over Bondi Beach with 13 charities and 100s of member of the public to embark on our largest ever Service event.  

To say that the day was a success is somewhat of an understatement with almost 18,000km walked collectively and just under $50,000 fundraised for our 13 charities.  

We formed new connections, spent time with colleagues, enjoyed the outdoors, put our phones down for the day, saw whales, foxes and other wildlife whales (we didn’t organise that part!), connected with nature and reminded ourselves of the value of learning outside the classroom.  

There are too many stories to recount here but I genuinely believe that events like this are hugely impactful as we aim to shape our students’ perspectives around what they can achieve both for themselves, and others. I spoke to every charity on the day and it’s hard to convey the gratitude they expressed to us for our involvement and the effusive thanks for the impact that the funds raised will have on the lives of those who need it.  

We received comment after comment after comment about how fantastic our students were, and we couldn’t be more proud of what we achieved. 

Thank you to everyone who got behind the event be they students, staff or parents.  

Esse Quam Videri.
