On the 27 of June at Glen Innes Shopping Centre, Glen Innes students were so excited.  They were having the most popular event they always looking forward for, every year and that is Jump Rope for heart. Room 1 was the first to perform.  They performed a breathtaking routine.  They showed off all their fantastic skipping skills, room 12 had a popular song called Gentlemen and the children sang along. The other classes followed afterwards and room 11 perform last. There were all sorts of wonderful songs used by the classes for their routines.  

The performances were extremely outstanding. There was a good turnout from the parents and also the community of Glen Innes.  Both parents and children were having fun.  At the end the parents were given the chance to skip with their parents and the parent who skip the longest got a milkshake voucher from one of the shop outlet in the centre.  An energetic mother was the winner and her children were very proud of her.

The principal, Mr. Hendricks said, “there will be another day like this next year.”
