2020 VIRTUAL MOTHER’S DAY CLASSIC On Sunday 10 May, the Ruyton community banded together to join the ‘Go Ruyton!!!’ team and participate in the 2020 Virtual Mother’s Day Classic. An annual fun run, the Mother’s Day Classic was established by Women in Super in 1998; since then it has raised $37.05 million dollars, supporting vital breast cancer awareness, research, prevention and treatment. Due to COVID-19, this year’s Mother’s Day Classic was run virtually for the very first time. Whether walking or running, Ruyton students, parents, families, staff and even dogs took part in the event, all wearing a touch of pink to show solidarity and support for those touched by breast cancer. The strength of our community enabled our team to be the largest school team in Victoria, the fifth largest school team in Australia, and the tenth largest team in Australia! We are so proud of how our Ruyton community came together to contribute to this worthy cause.
