Jump Off Day
As in previous years, Junior School registered to be a part of the Heart Foundation’s Jump Rope for Heart program for 2017. The culmination for this year’s program was a Jump Off day which was held on Monday 7 August. Students from Years 3 - 6 participated in a rotation of skipping skills including a ‘Relay Challenge,’ which required a class to complete as many running skips as possible in 4 minutes. Thank you to the Northside community for your continued support of this program.
