The Mother’s Day Classic, Cohuna was an event the Student Voice team at Cohuna Secondary College wanted to put on for the community.
The 2026 event proved highly successful, with 92 participants registering for the day.
“We had a fantastic Mother’s Day in Cohuna,” Mr Treacy said.
“The feedback for the day has been very, very positive with many saying they will be back next year.”
Participants praised the unique bush setting and welcoming atmosphere.
“They loved the bush setting of our track and love the friendly environment that we had created,” Mr Treacy said.
Students walked the course alongside participants, creating opportunities for meaningful interactions.
