Friday, 19th June 2026 at 8:50am ##### This weekend, a group of GBHS students is embracing this year's 40Hour Challenge by taking social action and raising awareness for communities in the Solomon Islands. From baking up a storm for today's lunchtime Bake Sale (with all proceeds going to World Vision) to giving up their weekend comforts and taking on unique challenges, the school community is showing incredible commitment and creativity. Challenges range from teacher, Mr Brent Ericson and a student walking an impressive 40 kilometres within 40 hours to groups of students completing 40 dares. Some are tackling the challenge of watching 40 movies! Whether participants choose to fundraise, advocate, or challenge themselves in unusual ways, every effort contributes to making a difference. The 40Hour Challenge reminds us that no act of kindness is too small. Every challenge completed, every dollar raised, and every conversation started helps bring hope and support to those who need it most. Listed below are the 'interesting' 40Hour Challenges some of our Year 11 students are participating in: - 40 Hours, No Furniture Challenge - Marlee Croft, Karamu Southon, Paityn Watson - 40 Hour Junk Food Detox Challenge - Stella May - 40 Hours, 40 Dares Challenge - Mehak Kaur, Jacey Chung - 40 Hour Letterbox Challenge - Isla Malem, Yi Nuo Li - 40 Hour Music Challenge - Jose Gamil - 40 Hours, 40km walk/run Challenge - Harry Pickup (and Mr. Ericson) - 40 Hours, No Japanese Challenge - Michi Kobarai, Ria Matsuzaki, Yuzuki Nishizawa, Hiyo Ohashi (International students) - 40 Hours, No Sleep Challenge - Astyn Brens Click [HERE](https://fundraise.worldvision.org.nz/fundraisers/GreenBayHighSchool) to place a donation - every bit helps!
