Jump Rope for Heart kicks off this term at Newtown PS! 

Jump Rope for Heart is the Heart Foundation’s primary school skipping challenge that helps kids move more, have fun and raise funds for lifesaving research and programs.

 

This year we’ve got an audacious goal to see our student Heart Heroes at Newtown Primary School to log 40 hours of skipping throughout the program! 

Register your child online, so they can receive the full benefits of the program and participate in online fundraising, simply follow the link below to get started. www.jumprope.org.au/parents

 

Students will be skipping throughout the term in PE lessons/during lunch break, during this time you can share their online fundraising page with family and friends to help raise money for this great cause.

We will hold our school Jump Off Day on Thursday September 14, this will mark the end of the program and is a chance for everyone to come together to skip and show off their newly learned skills. 

 

Thank you for supporting the Jump Rope for Heart program!

NPS School Family Camping Weekend

The Parent Ambassadors are organising another social camping weekend for our school community.  

 

The location is Big Hill Campground, a short drive inland from Lorne.  It is a basic, unpowered campground with a bush toilet and fireplaces, with tent sites as well as a few sites for camper trailers/caravans.  Dates are 24-26 November, and you can book your site at:

https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/places-to-see/parks/great-otway-national-park/where-to-stay/big-hill-campground

 

The plan is to spend some time at the beach and maybe do a waterfall walk, and of course get to know our school friends a little better!  Be quick, there are only 13 sites available!  For further information, contact Lis on 0422992843.
