Support our Teachers in "Laps for Life" Challenge

The “Shunyi Sharks” Team is raising money for youth mental health by diving into the pool and swimming as many laps as possible throughout March. Every donation can help save lives from suicide and support young people experiencing mental health difficulties. The team is committed to swimming over 135km and to raising over AUS$5000 whilst doing so.

Thank you!

Update in April 2023

Last month seven dedicated BSB Shunyi staff members from across the school committed to taking part in Laps for Life, a fundraising initiative which raises awareness of mental health in young people. Funds raised go directly to ReachOut, a not-for-profit, 24/7 safe place to support mental health and wellbeing in young people. To raise funds, we swam as many laps as we could over the course of the month of March, with all of us, I pleased to report, reaching or even exceeding our goals. 

Shunyi Sharks

• Total distance swam: 114.7km
• Total laps of a 25 metre pool completed: 4784

So far, we have raised over Aus$5000 and we now have just a few days left to raise additional funds for this worthy cause - please check out our fundraising page if you feel you can make a small donation:
