Jump start for heart health
Prep to Year 6 students from St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School’s Traralgon Campus have jumped for joy, as they took part in this year’s Jump Rope For Heart fundraiser.
Jump Rope for Heart not only raises vital funds for research into heart disease prevention and management, but also educates young people about the importance of heart health.
Throughout the term, students practised their skipping technique during lunchtimes, developing their fitness level as they prepared for the final ‘jump off’ session.
When the big day arrived, the school’s gym came alive with an endless sea of skipping ropes, laughter and determination. Students bounced into challenges such as double dutch, criss cross, skier, high knees, single leg hops and side swings, showcasing both enthusiasm and their improved skipping skills.
