The fourth Great Race, modelled on the TV reality show The Amazing Race, kicked off at Keith Holmes Reserve with students from years 7 to 10 from the Education Support Centre and the Halls Head College Big Picture group solving clues, navigating areas of the eastern foreshore, interacting with local businesses and performing physical and mental challenges.
The Great Race catered for the individual needs of all students allowing everyone to be involved in an inclusive team building event allowing students to demonstrate leadership skills using the school’s You Can Do It program of resilience, confidence, organisation, persistence and getting along.
