During Term 3 at Molong Central School our students from Kindergarten to Year 6 have been involved in the Jump Rope for Heart Program - a fantastic physical activity and fundraising program by the Heart Foundation that has been running for 36 years. Jump Rope for Heart encourages children to have a positive mindset towards exercise, healthy eating and heart health while also raising vital funds to assist those who are suffering from heart disease. As heart disease kills thousands of Australians every year, our school really wanted to strive to raise lifesaving funds.

During the term our students have been very active during physical education lessons, learning new skipping skills and setting themselves small goals to achieve throughout the term. The program culminated with a ‘Jump Off Day’ on Friday 25th September where the students were involved in rotational skipping activities allowing them to show off the skills they have learnt and have some fun with their friends.

We are so proud to say that our school community has raised an amazing $17,239.95 for the Heart Foundation. This amount definitely surpassed our goals and made us so proud that we have done something very special that will make a difference to so many lives.
