Fitness Students Show Community Spirit

Bowen State School’s Year 11 Certificate III Fitness class has been spotlighted and congratulated for their outstanding efforts and commitment to organising a wonderful fundraising event which combined both fitness and community spirit.

The students took part in the push-up challenge whereby they each performed as many push-ups as possible in succession to a timed cadence. With unwavering strength and determination, the students received waves of support from local businesses, leading them to successfully perform 351 strict push-ups and raise over $800 to support families in need this Christmas!

The funds raised will be donated to the Bowen Neighbourhood Centre to purchase food, vouchers, and toys to spread holiday cheer and make a real difference within the wider community.

Staff, students and families of the Bowen State High School shared a massive thank you to the businesses who generously donated a dollar value per push-up including Muscle Studio Bowen, Robinson Mining Services, Sargent Sport and Amp’d Fitness.

“Your support has truly helped make this initiative a success and has brought smiles to many faces this holiday season,” shared Bowen State High School Principal, Robert Harris.

“Well done to our Year 11 Fitness students for showcasing not only their physical strength but also their community spirit.”
