Over the weekend of 19-20 July, QAHS had 9 teams head out to take part in the Kokoda Challenge, hiking either 48km or 96km continuously with a hope to cross the finish line having done their best for each other. Everyone who set foot onto the course put in a huge effort, displayed mateship and courage, whilst hoping to cross the finish line in relatively good shape.

The 96km team showed resilience and grit as their supervisor had to unfortunately withdraw due to injury at 48km. The team then had to join other school teams in order to progress and complete the challenge. The 48km teams met their own challenges head on  with a few injuries, however everyone's contribution to their team was invaluable.

Thank you to Frances McGovern, Aaron Boulton, Jason Marchant and Kirsty Levy, Rohan Sen, Lily Cronly, Isla Kelly, Travis Henry and Ben Kelly for leading their teams.
