About
Support our team RSHS Kododa Team - Trail Mix 5 and empower local youth!
Hello Diggers, We are Trail Mix 5, a team of Rochedale State High School students and staff proudly taking on Australia’s toughest team endurance event – the Kokoda Challenge.
Ella, Jordan, Zyan, Kihan and Mr Somerville, will hike 48km across rugged terrain, facing steep climbs, long distances, and mental battles – but every step we take is for a greater purpose.
We’re walking to support the Kokoda Youth Foundation, an Australian charity that runs free youth programs to empower disadvantaged and disengaged young people. These programs build resilience, leadership, and purpose – changing lives and communities.
On our journey, we honour the values of the Spirit of Kokoda –
Courage, Endurance, Mateship, and Sacrifice –
and live by our school’s values:
Grit in every climb,
Growth in every struggle,
and Gratitude for the opportunity to be part of something bigger.
As RSHS Rhinos, we charge forward as one.
Because this challenge isn’t just about finishing – it’s about becoming stronger, together.
Your tax-deductible donation will help support our team and fund the Kokoda Youth Foundation’s work with Australian youth who need it most.
👉 Donate today. Help us make every step count.
Trail Mix 5 – One foot after the other. Rhinos charge.
