Defence Support Mentor News
Our School Challenge during the month of March was to walk 1km with 96 students. The significance of 96 students is because the Kokoda Track, an infamous campaign for Australian troops in WW2 was 96km long. Well done to all the students who attended and made this goal possible.
Our Anzac Day Prayer Ceremony will be held in the school hall Tuesday 27 April at 9.15am. Please join us for a morning tea in the staffroom afterwards. Thank you to all the families who have sent in pictures of past and present service members. You still have time if you have not yet sent in your photo.
Community news
VSA was established to support the health and wellbeing of serving, former serving and family members of the Australian Defence Force, through sport and recreation - Veteran Sport Australia
One of the ways we do this is by encouraging people to join Parkrun. Parkrun run community events all around the world, which take place on Saturday mornings in parks and open spaces. Events consist of a 5km route and are completely free. Running is not compulsory, you can either run, walk, jog, volunteer, take the dog or just spectate.
VSA are inviting the Veteran Community, friends, and supporters to register with parkrun and join ‘Team Veteran’. Our aim is for ‘Team Veteran’ to be the largest parkrun club in Australia, with members participating in any one of the 407 Parkrun locations around Australia.
If you’d like to participate in Parkrun and are not registered follow the link register | parkrun Australia to go to the registration page.
Once registered or if you’re already an existing member then follow the link Groups (parkrun.com) to register for ‘Team Veteran’.
