Big Picture Challenge 2025
In 2025, Big Picture students at Hunter Sports High School will be undertaking the Push-Up Challenge to raise awareness and funds to support people and programs involved in creating better mental health in our communities.
As part of the challenge, the students will be dividing the 3,214 push-ups amongst each other, while their Senior Advisor, Dave, will be taking it on by himself for a combined total of 6,428 push-ups. This is to bring awareness to the 3,214 people that have committed suicide since 2023. Everyone will be pushing-up, sitting-up, lunging, and squatting their way to their goal. As part of their Social Action and connections with the wider community, the students are aiming for better mental health outcomes as they become young adults.
Everyone is feeling healthier already!
Supporting headspace Newcastle
At headspace Newcastle we provide mental health support for young people aged 12 -25 years. Young people attending our centre can also access physical health support as well as Work and Study and Drug and Alcohol programs. We rely on our community to continue to deliver innovative, creative and active programs to young people who access our service. Every push- up completed means a big deal to a young person at headspace Newcastle. Thank you!
