Jump Rope for Heart kicks off this term at St Joseph's!
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 is the 40th year of Jump Rope for Heart! To celebrate this milestone, we’ve got an audacious goal to see our student Heart Heroes at St Joseph's 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 and during recess and lunch, 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 Friday 16th September, 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!
District Netball
I am extremely proud to let you know that the St Joseph's girls came 4th at the Division Winter Lightning Premiership competition last week, which was a fantastic achievement. They played incredibly well and all worked as a team. Thank-you again to the parents for car-pooling our students to get them to the comp, and for your ongoing support.
State Cross-Country
Both Kobe and Alfred participated in the State Cross-Country Championships last week. What an incredible opportunity! These boys not only represented our school but competed against the best in the state. Congratulations to both boys for a magnificent run.
Alfred has been asked to represent our state in Adelaide!
