Jump Rope for Heart – We’re skipping through the term! 

Students have been skipping throughout the term, and it has been delightful to see the continued engagement that primary students have shown with skipping over the past few weeks. Students have been skipping during PE lessons, during 1/2, and 3/4 sport, and have been borrowing skipping ropes from the Sports and Recreation Shed to use at playtimes.

Jump Rope for Heart is a fantastic physical activity and fundraising program that has been run by the Heart Foundation for 40 years. It’s a great way for children to keep fit and learn new skills, but it also helps raise funds for vital heart research and education programs.

So far, PVCC students have raised $3,408 and logged a current total of 33 Hours of skipping with ONE week to go, keep up the awesome work. 😊

Below is a table showing students who have chosen to participate in the Jump Rope for Heart program through the JRfH portal. I acknowledge these students for their committed participation, for raising funds for heart research, and for skipping for many hours.

In particular, I acknowledge:

Nate T (Year 1) - for raising a whopping $1002

Eve H (Year 6) – for raising $430

Noah T (Year 4) – for raising $363

Mat S (Year 3) – for logging 417 minutes of skipping.

Mason K (Year 4) – for logging 226 minutes of skipping.

Eve H (Year 6) – for logging 193 minutes of skipping. 

It is not too late for students to be involved; it’s important to 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
