In the College’s inaugural Active April program we had over 160 participants who together logged over 4480 hours of physical activity. O'Neill House, who had close to double the number of participants than any other House, had a commanding lead for the entire month and finished on top with a huge number of physical activity hours.
The types of physical activities undertaken by participants were varied. The top recorded activities were walking, AFL, basketball, cycling, running, soccer and dance. Students could log the activities they participated in during the school holidays or any extra curricular activities after school. They also had the opportunity to take part in lunchtime activities at the College, including dodgeball (pictured in the gallery below).
The Active April campaign began with a Staff versus Students volleyball game at the end of Term 1 and concluded with a Ride/Walk to School breakfast on Friday 30 April followed by a Staff versus Students ultimate frisbee match. Despite a strong start by the staff, the students were too good and clinched an easy win.
| House | Hours of activity logged | Leader |
|---|---|---|
| O'Neill | 1223 hours | Harry Doyle 126 hours |
| Frayne | 684 hours | Chloe Morris 205 hours |
| Maguire | 442 hours | Katelyn Dunn 196 hours |
| Terry Dunn | 370 hours | Ebony Damen 58 hours |
| Carr | 323 hours | Luke Phillips 60 hours |
| Ryan | 213 hours | Aiden Thomas 96 hours |
It was a fun month that has reminded some of us, and reinforced for others, the important role that physical activity has in our life.
