JUMP ROPE FOR HEART

Jump Rope for Heart is a fantastic physical activity and fundraising program that has been run by the Heart Foundation for over 36 years. It is a great way for your child to keep fit and learn new skills, but it also helps raise funds for vital heart research and education programs.

Since Jump Rope for Heart started in 1983, schools like ours have raised more than $104 million for the Heart Foundation’s lifesaving work.

Information and flyers have been distributed through classes and electronically.

It is important you register your child online, so they can receive the full benefits of the program and participate in online fundraising, simply follow the link to get started. www.jumprope.org.au/parents

Students will be skipping throughout the term in Sport lessons, and during this time you can share their online fundraising page with family and friends to help raise money for this great cause.

Thank you for supporting the Jump Rope for Heart program!

Credit Union SA has created an incredibly easy way to help improve the future of your family and our school, please click here for more information.

OLSH Pillar Focus 

This term, our OLSH Pillar focus is on Pursuing Excellence, whereby we are heading past halfway of the 2021 school year.  Routines have been well established, Mid-Year reports have been written and shared with families and teaching and learning for the remainder of the year are in full swing.  Goals have been set for ways forward and for students to achieve them this semester.  There are many events and classroom learning experiences planned in which St Martin’s will pursue excellence. 

The Receptions have enjoyed participating in ‘Tinkering’ with Mr Kuerschner and were supported by the Year 6 students to help build a vehicle. Tinkering has helped the students strengthen their friendships and develop their confidence. The students used their problem solving skills to put the materials together to create their vehicle. Additionally, the students explored, wondered and tested their ideas. They were very proud of their final products.

Last week, all families received a personalised 'Enrolment Census for 2022'. The information collected in the census is used to plan for the 2022 school year, i.e. class structures, the needs of students and the school's financial situation. 

If you have not received your copy of the Enrolment Census, please contact Catherine Hill (Enrolment Registrar).

Thank you to those families who have already returned their form. Forms are due by Friday, 20 August 2021.
