Jump Rope for Heart 2011

Each year, Glen Waverley students participate in the Jump Rope for Heart fundraising program. This nationally-run program has been running for more than 25 years, and attracts support from over 400,000 students in Australia each year. It teaches students about keeping fit and healthy whilst raising vital funds to support research into cardiovascular disease.

Each year, an enthusiastic number of Glen Waverley jumpers sign up, to work together in a team and develop new skills, whilst contributing to a worthwhile cause.This year, the Glen Waverley team raised a fantastic $9,857.60 for the Heart Foundation. Since the program’s inception at Glen Waverley over 20 years ago, students from Years 3 – 7 have raised the wonderful amount of $173,500.
