23.01.2022 During PE lessons, before school and during lunch breaks our students have been skipping up a storm to improve their heart health and overall physical fitness. Behind the scenes, they have been raising money for the Heart Foundation, a very worthy cause. Our Jump Rope for Heart program has now finished and I am very proud to say that after setting a goal of $5000, we actually raised $6291.02! This is an absolutely fantastic effort. Well done everyone! The prizes are on order and I will present them to the students when they arrive. Thank you for supporting the Jump Rope for Heart program and keep skipping to keep your heart healthy.
