Keysborough students are taking up the Premier’s Active April challenge.
The initiative encourages people to commit to 30 minutes of physical activity each day during April to improve their health and wellbeing.
Lighthouse Christian College launched the program at the school on Wednesday 15 March with a visit from several high-profile sports people.
