The NX 2026 Fun Run, held in late August, was a day bursting with colour, energy, and plenty of house spirit! Students and staff went all out with their costumes, and the atmosphere was electric from start to finish. The House Games were full of rivalry and fun, and out on the 3km course, our students really impressed, not only giving their best effort, but also chasing down the personal goals and times they had set for themselves.
Together, we raised an amazing $71,000! This incredible result is a true reflection of the determination of our students and the generosity of our wider NX community. To all our families, friends, and supporters—thank you! Your encouragement, donations, and belief in our students made this event such a success, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
