Jaden recently participated in the 24 hr Swim-a-thon at Collaroy Beach to raise funds for Head Above Water. This is a local group located on the Northern Beaches created to have a positive impact on mental health though physical exercise. Head Above Water also supports Gotcha 4 Life which is a foundation which has been established to improve the mental health of men and boys and save lives through better connections with friends, family and community.
Full detail on the organisation can be found here: https://www.headabovewater.com.au/
Jaden swam a total of 6km, 120 laps of the 50m pool at
Collaroy Beach. He swam 5km in 1hr on Saturday and returned on Sunday morning
to swim a further 1km in the pouring rain. Talk about resilience in action. I am always thrilled to hear of the incredible achievements of our students outside of school, they inspire all of us to Aim High and remember that great things can be achieved through perseverance and focus.
Congratulations Jaden on an amazing achievement.
