Announcing our 2020 Strava House Cup!
This year, we are encouraging all our students and staff to join their House in running, walking and/or cycling towards the 2020 Strava House Cup!
To compete in our 2020 Strava House Cup, all participating students and staff need to download the Strava App. Strava is an app/website which records daily exercise completed by people all over the world. Strava allows groups of people to share their exercise and support each other at the same time.
Once you’ve downloaded the app, join your House via the links below:
Annecy: https://www.strava.com/clubs/706981
Moroney: https://www.strava.com/clubs/706988
Savio: https://www.strava.com/clubs/712433
Collinson: https://www.strava.com/clubs/712400
Students will be awarded the same amount of merits/House points towards The Strava Cup Ladder for going on a walk, a bike ride or a run. We encourage all our students to exercise each day.
Rules:
Merits/House points will be accrued for each student that gets outside and exercises throughout the week. Each activity can be recorded using the Strava app (which you can download to your phones) or a smart watch (which can be linked to the app). The ladder system will be ongoing for the duration of Term 3, with the House that records the highest number of participants and participant activities declared the winner. There will be additional prizes including:
- Overall Champion – This will be in each activity group (run, walk, bike) to ensure it is fair for all
- Year Level Champion for the most amount of exercise completed (distance covered)
