STUDENTS TAKING ACTION - COMMUNITY SPIRIT
It is always wonderful to hear about students taking action in our community. Hugo (3/4r) is showing great community spirit and has a deep desire to help others. These are all values held deeply within the school.
Hugo is doing this amazing bike ride challenge (Tour de Kids) this month, raising money for sick kids through the Starlight Foundation.
Hugo actually found out about the challenge while researching an organisation with similar values to himself during a Wise Guys session at school last month. He then put together a team of friends (kids) who are from his cycling club (Canberra Cycling Club). They are aiming to ride about 2000 kms this month (September) to raise money for The Starlight foundation. The kids in Hugo’s team are between 7 - 10 years old.
Hugo has ridden almost 200kms already and we are only a third of the way through the month! He has raised more than $1200 and the team more than $3200. Most of the people in the challenge are adults, so it’s extra cool kids are doing it to help other kids.
