On September the 20th, Burke Hall / Xavier College organised an event called the 100 laps of the Studley Oval to help raise awareness for the JMB Foundation. This is a whole school fundraising event, which runs for the entire day. The main activity of the day is to complete 100 laps of our main school oval. All students and staff are encouraged to take part in the relay.
This event is in its 10th year running and has become a highlight on the school calendar. There is a real carnival atmosphere during the day including food stands, music performances, and of course the running of the 100 laps. In the week leading up to the event, our school was lucky enough to have Mr Peter Woodbridge visit our school to talk about the aims of the JMB Foundation and help promote the message to step, back and think.
We are proud to announce that we raised over $1000 for the foundation and look forward to celebrating the 100 laps again next year.
