Thank you to Grahak's brother Ian and his partner Kerryn for hosting the men's team last night.
Our first school for the day was at Coniston Public School.
A perfect school to come to to start our day.
The capital of my country is Bogota...
A country really close to here...
My country looks a little bit like a tea pot...

To recognise the most important role they play in bringing peace to the world, we invited the teachers to come up and run with the Peace Torch while the students applauded.

Just yesterday Coniston School launched a 100 laps running challenge...
All the students are encouraged to to run as many laps as they want to before school and to try and make it to a 100 laps during the school term. Today they had nearly the whole school there before we arrived running upwards of 7 laps!
A great way to finish a super fun time with the students of Coniston School!
Thank you so much to the teachers and students!
Harita and Gesiane met some friendly people as they ran on to the next school.
Grahak's brother Ian joined us for the second school of the day\ - see any similarity??

The school invited the parents to also attend the Peace Run ceremony and it was great to see the teachers, parents and students all participating.
Ian giving some hard clues to the students to guess where he is from ... Wollongong.
Rathin was born in Canada\ - always an easy guess!
Brazil!
Feeling the peace.
Seeing the peace.

We were welcomed by Rhonda, the School Principal and a fellow runner who shared with us the great things they are doing to help promote fitness and health in their school.
