The benefits of getting your school involved in Relay For Life

Health and PE with a twist

As Relay is an endurance event where teams are required to keep the baton moving around the track, it provides an opportunity for schools or community groups to set their students or members a fitness-based challenge.

Because the event is in support of Cancer Council and people in the community impacted by cancer, this also presents an opportunity for teachers to link the event with topics they may already be teaching around cancer, prevention and health in general, or for community groups to tie into a cause felt in their local area.

 Education

• Provides a unique opportunity for the development of key skills, including leadership, corporate responsibility, teamwork, innovation, advocacy and banking, while also building confidence and relationships with peers.
• Offers a fun and active way to promote and educate youth on healthy living and how to reduce the risk of cancer.
• Promotes the importance of Cancer Council Victoria ongoing work in cancer prevention, support and research to the leaders of tomorrow.

Teamwork

• Champions diversity and cultivates inclusivity.
• Provides strong leadership opportunities for students, who can sign up to be team captains.
• Values a commitment to the health and wellbeing of others.
• Unites your school community in support of a singular goal.

Community

• Allows your school community to really make a difference in the fight against cancer within the local community.
• Shows support for all those impacted by cancer, particularly those within your close-knit school community.
• Promotes teamwork, collaboration and cohesiveness within your school community.
