JUMP ROPE FOR HEART

Jump Rope for Heart is well underway, with our final Jump Off day to be held on Wednesday 24th August. It’s great to see so many children practicing their skipping and getting involved in the fundraising for the Heart Foundation. Keep up the great efforts and if you haven’t signed your child up yet, it's not too late! www.jumprope.org.au/parents 

It’s Jump Rope for Hearts 40th Birthday and to celebrate they are hoping to reach 40,000 skipping hours by the end of the year. We need your help! Let’s aim to have as many students jump online and record their minutes this term.
