Happy Birthday to the following students! Kiera Butler, Will Halsall, Eddie McMartin, Sophie Lamont & Jade Raleigh. Congratulations to Will, Patrick, Mavric, Leila, Cooper, Grace & Lily. Jump Rope for Heart will run in PE classes from now until the end of term! Jump Rope for Heart is a fantastic physical activity and fundraising program that has been run by the Heart Foundation for over 36 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. It is OPTIONAL for you to register your child on line. We understand that not everyone is in a position to raise funds. There are some prizes for students who would like to raise money online, but there is no expectation for any child to do this. If you want to support the Heart Foundation, simply follow the link below to get started. www.jumprope.org.au/parents
