Jump Off Day

Our Primary School took part in the Heart Foundation Jump Rope for Heart Jump Off Day on June 13th.

Students in 5W had lots of fun demonstrating the skipping skills for each station. Pre-K students also participated in their own Jump Off Day.

The Primary students have been skipping enthusiastically for months in PE lessons and also during recess and lunch. Skipping is a great way to keep fit and healthy.

The Heart Foundation raises money for research to fight heart disease and this is a fantastic way for them to raise much needed funds to make this possible. Heart disease is one of the biggest killers in Australia so researching can help reduce the numbers of people affected by this crippling disease.

Our Primary School has participated in the Jump Off on a regular basis since 2007. Prior to this year’s fundraising efforts, we had raised $184K for the Heart Foundation.

This year so far we have raised $21,474 which places us as the highest fundraising school in Australia! This also brings our overall fundraising total to over $200K. Wow, what an awesome effort from our PAC families!

Our fundraising will remain open until Friday 27 June so if you haven’t yet donated, there is still time to do so.

Prizes will not arrive from the Heart Foundation until the middle of next term, at which time they will be distributed to qualifying students.

Thank you for your amazing support!
