40 Hour Challenge - we were there

Grant Forman —

Read on to find out about how Oaklands School and our awesome community got involved in this worthwhile event.

The 40 Hour Challenge has been established to raise funds for children in less fortunate situations that we find ourselves. This year funds raised are going towards providing life changing clean water to kids in Malawi.

STUDENT LEADERS

Whist as a teacher we can take charge and lead this, it means much more if students are involved with promoting and leading the Oaklands contribution.

Lead by the kind-hearted and motivated Eden Stewart and Greer Western, the 2023 team were: Beau Taylor, Ella Horne, Elizabeth Woolford, Esther Vincent, Leah Archibald,  Mikkel Jensen, Nate Gilmour and William McMillan

POSTER COMPETITION

We held a poster competition prior to the big weekend; this is a bit of a tradition at Oaklands. We received a good amount of entries which made the task of judging not an easy one. However, after much deliberation, the student leaders selected their top poster for each year group submitted.

The winners were:

Year 2: Bella Taylor

Year 3: Mila Carter

Year 4: Anni Li

Year 5: Lucy Trevathan

Year 6: Chloe Barclay

Special mention: excellent poster and first submitted category: April Liu
