2026 Ondaatje Medal Challenge Highlights
Congratulations to All of Our Ondaatje Challenge Seekers!
The 2026 Ondaatje Challenge has been an inspiring journey for our students. This year’s four-part series tested their endurance across land and water with:
- 10km Run – April 21
- 15km Bike – May 4
- 2km Paddle – May 20
- 640m Swim – June 3
Whether they took on one event or all four, every effort is celebrated. Completing all four earns the Ondaatje Participation Award—a recognition of commitment and perseverance.
For those exceptional students who meet the Standard of Excellence in all four events, the Ondaatje House Medal will be awarded at Closing Ceremonies—honouring outstanding achievement across the full challenge.
Thank you to all the families and community members who have supported our athletes throughout the series. It’s been a fantastic season of pushing limits, building resilience, and fostering school spirit!
Congratulations to all of the courageous students who participated this year. Full results are available here:
