Jump Rope for Heart

To conclude our Jump Rope for Heart program, the SLA will be running Jump Off Day on Thursday 19th September. This is a chance for Newtown students to practise the fantastic skipping skills they have learnt this term by participating in lots of fun and challenging skipping activities that will be run by the Senior Learning Area students.

Staff and students are invited to wear a ‘pop of red’ on the day to fit in with the message of keeping a healthy heart, and students should dress in appropriate footwear and clothing for skipping.

The Prep and Junior students will be skipping from 9.30am – 11am, the Middles will skip from 12pm – 1.30pm, and the Seniors will skip from 2.30pm – 3.30pm.

This is always a fun and exciting day for our school, and we are thoroughly looking forward to it again!

See you there!
