Jump Rope
This Friday 4th July, we celebrate our school feast day – the Feast of the Sacred Heart. On this day we will have a school liturgy and our biennial Jump Rope For Heart. Students will participate in a variety of skipping activities and other sporting games. This will take place between recess and lunch time. Students need to wear their sports uniform and bring along their drink bottle.
With Jump Rope for Heart, the kids will move more, have fun and raise funds for Aussie Heart. We ask students to bring along a gold coin that will be donated to the Heart Foundation. Thank you for your support.
