Lunchtime Activities

This term we have started our Jump Rope for Heart Club which is on every Wednesday second half of lunch on the basketball courts. 

Jump Rope for Heart is a fantastic physical activity and fundraising program that has been run by the Heart Foundation for over 35 years. It’s a great way for your child to keep fit and learn new skills, but it also helps raise funds for vital heart research and education programs.

Since Jump Rope for Heart started in 1983, schools like ours have raised more than $75 million for the Heart Foundation’s lifesaving work. 

Here is a jump rope challenge for our school community to try:
