Junior School – Jump Rope for Heart Week!

We are excited to announce that Oxley Junior School will be celebrating Jump Rope for Heart Week in Week 6 this term. Jump Rope for Heart is the Heart Foundation’s primary school skipping initiative, designed to help kids move more, have fun, and raise funds for life-saving research and programs. This term, students from Prep to Year 6 have been honing their jump rope skills and working on their fitness during PE lessons, focusing on rhythm, timing, coordination, and teamwork, all in preparation for Jump Rope for Heart Week.

Throughout Week 6, skipping ropes will be available on school grounds, and students will be encouraged to skip during break times. This initiative will help them enhance their skills, increase physical activity, and learn about heart health. Students will have the opportunity to showcase their skills through various activities and competitions throughout the week. To support the Heart Foundation, we ask that all students bring a gold coin donation on Thursday, 21st November (Week 6) to help raise vital funds in the fight against heart disease. Class teachers will collect the donations on the day, and we appreciate your generosity and support for this important cause.

We look forward to jumping into Week 6, filled with fun, fitness, and learning. We can’t wait to see all our students participating in Jump Rope for Heart Week.

Date: Thursday, 21st November
