As a thank you for their skipping and fundraising exploits, at the end of term three, each participating student received a certificate of appreciation and small gift from the Heart Foundation.
The students’ collective efforts will help support Australians living with heart disease by contributing to the funding of high-impact research, as well as by building community awareness around living a heart-healthy lifestyle.
Great work: Students combined efforts raised $6250 for the Heart Foundation.
