Push-Up Challenge 2025

THE PUSH-UP CHALLENGE 2025 is underway and SJPC staff have again registered a team. The challenge continues through until 26 June with participants completing 3214 push-ups. Tragically, this represents the number of people who died by suicide in Australia in 2023. Each day the number of push-ups is linked to a statistic or fact about mental health and we will be sharing our learning from this with the college through daily notices and updates posted in the walk-through walls. 

Our staff team consists of:

Students have also joined our push with extraordinary interest led by our Push-Up Challenge Student Ambassadors, Dayna Loy and Ethan Dawson. Current student team members are listed, with numbers expected to grow. We thoroughly appreciate the rigorous competitive spirit of this challenge and student involvement.

Year 12 student team consists of: 

Maycee Shortis, Dayna Loy, Ethan Dawson, Logan Butcher, Drew Butcher, Riley Woods, Sam Rava, Jed Capps, Cooper Gater, Nazrawi Gebremichael, Gunsanjh Brar, Louis White, Sari Bridgeman, Monique Hill, Makaylah Beatty, Amelie Suokallio, Matilda Noble, Tahlia Amos, Holly Becker, Laila McLaughlin, Lucas Cung Tho.

All funds raised will go towards mental health and crisis support services, helping to break stigmas and provide hope to those struggling with their mental health. This is Australia's largest mental health and fitness event and, since it began, over 700,000 participants have raised over $50 million for mental health programs and services.

Help us push for better mental health.
