Cheltenham East Primary News and Events
NEWS FROM GRADE 1
On Tuesday the Grade 1's went on a Community Walk to LePage Park. When we arrived, the children participated in a maths investigation to find hidden shapes. The children worked in teams to follow directions that led them to the secret locations all around the park. It was a great learning experience and a positive wellbeing day out.
A big thank you to all the parent helpers who came along.
The Grade 1 Team.
GRADE 3-6 HOUSE CROSS COUNTRY
We had a fabulous day last week, Friday 13th May participating in the Grade 3 – 6, House Cross Country event. This was held at LePage Park. The weather was certainly on our side with brilliant cool conditions for running. All students participated with enthusiasm running around the course. A 2km run for 10 year olds and under and a 3km run for 11 and 12 year old age groups. The children showed lots of determination when running and there was a lot of encouragement as well. We had a plethora of volunteers to help marshal on the course and it was wonderful seeing parents, carers, friends and the CEPS community supporting and helping out with this event.
A huge thank you also to our wonderful CEPS teachers who always do an amazing job on these days!

JUMP ROPE FOR HEART
I am excited to announce that Cheltenham East Primary School are participating in Jump Rope for Heart this year – a fantastic fundraising and physical activity program by the Heart Foundation.
By participating in Jump Rope for Heart this term, I’m expecting to get our students moving. We’ll have ropes available on the school grounds and encouraging everyone to help raise funds for lifesaving research and support programs.
Over the coming weeks your child will learn new skills, increase their physical activity, and learn about heart health. And the program will end with our school wide ‘Jump Off Day’ which is to be confirmed where your child gets to show off their new skipping skills to their friends.
When you register your child online you’ll get access to additional skipping resources to help give your child a great reason to get away from the screens and get outdoors. Register and create your own secure webpage at jumprope.org.au/parents
By signing up online, you and your child can:
- Easily raise funds online
- Track skipping skills progress and earn virtual badges along the way
- Post updates to your page so family and friends can follow their progress
- Access additional skipping resources
Your child should have a ‘fundraising guide’ flyer to take home, which includes further information on the program. If you didn’t receive this, visit jumprope.org.au/parents for all the information that you need.
Thank you for getting involved in Jump Rope for Heart!
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Robinson
