Nedd Brockmann created Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge to inspire Australians to join him in the movement to fight homelessness in Australia - supporting Australia's most vulnerable people!

In 2026, schools across Australia will come together for the Schools Super Day on Friday 16 October. A dedicated day of action, fundraising and getting uncomfortable for a great cause. By bringing schools together on one day, it makes it easier for students, teachers and school communities to get involved and work towards a shared goal.

It’s a fun and engaging way for students and teachers to build resilience, step outside of their comfort zone, and encourages them to make an impact by contributing to something bigger than themselves.

Find out what other schools have to say about Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge

Taking part in Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge with my Grade 6 class was easily one of the highlights of our school year. We decided to go without tables and chairs for two whole weeks! It started as a simple way to push ourselves outside our comfort zones, but it quickly turned into something much more powerful. The students embraced the challenge with open minds and such great attitudes. They problem-solved, adapted, and supported each other every step of the way. By the end, they were saying things like “I’m really proud of myself”, “I didn’t think I could do that”, and “It feels good knowing we’ve made a difference.” It was eye-opening not just for the kids, but for us teachers too. They discovered strengths they didn’t know they had, and we had some of the most honest and meaningful conversations we’ve had all year about comfort, privilege, and resilience. It’s a unique, real-world experience that sparks growth, reflection, and connection, all while supporting a brilliant cause. We'll absolutely be back this year!

Taking part in Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge at Sylvania Heights Public School was an unforgettable and deeply rewarding experience for our students. From Kindergarten to Year 6, many children embraced a personal challenge—whether it was braving ice baths, tackling long-distance runs, committing to endless sit-ups, practising maths skills, reading every night, or lending a helping hand to family members. Each student stepped boldly beyond their comfort zone in unique and inspiring ways.
What began as a fun school-wide project quickly grew into a powerful journey of resilience, determination, and self-discovery. We saw students encouraging one another, celebrating each other’s progress, and realising just how much they are capable of achieving. They also experienced the profound satisfaction of following through on a promise—not for prizes or recognition, but simply because they said they would. It was intrinsic motivation at its finest.
The challenge didn’t just build physical and mental strength—it united our entire school community. We shared stories, celebrated milestones, and discovered that stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to extraordinary growth. We’re already excited to take on the challenge again this year!
