SKIPPING ropes have been leapt over at record levels at Bacchus Marsh Grammar School.
Pupils from the junior school campus raised $15,446 for last year’s Heart Foundation Jump Rope for Heart.
It’s the largest amount ever raised by one school for the popular charity.
Grade 5 pupils Nazeeha and Dara (pictured) were among those awarded by Heart Foundation chief executive Kathy Bell on March 19.
The school’s community development co-ordinator, Cathy Perconte, says it was important to get pupils active and raise money for a good cause.
The school’s 2012 Jump Rope program for grades prep-6 pupils starts next term.
