St Francis Catholic School joins the tally
The 17,557,284 steps that the St. Francis School students have done since the commencement of the challenge have now been added to the overall tally.
The students have formed 12 teams of 4 students, with a total of 48 students participating in the challenge.
Principal Fran Scully said that students who play sports like football and netball have no trouble doing their 10,000 steps, but the real value of the challenge has been students who were not very active before, now participating in daily runs and walks, all in the name of getting their steps up.
In fact, one student was reluctant to go on a family trip to Townsville, knowing that during the car trip, no steps would be tallied.
The students all love their pedometers and the challenge seems to have created great awareness of physical activity within the school.
Well done to the St. Francis School students.
