Each term at Macleans Primary School the school leaders and school decide on a fundraising project for the community, whether it be a small ‘food can’ for the foodbank or a big project.
This term was a big fundraising project for the Heart Foundation NZ.
The Macleans Primary School values of learning to be, learning to learn and learning to grow were on full display on Friday June 17 as all of the children had to work through a jump rope obstacle course as part of the fundraising effort.
The school raised a total of almost $12K for the Heart Foundation NZ.
Leading up to the big jumping day, each child had a skipping rope and practised, practised, and practised.
“Thanks to all the children, parents and teachers for coming together and making this happen,” Matthew Cooke, Macleans’ principal, says. “(It’s) a great reflection of Macleans Primary School as we work hard to ensure that we are true to the Macleans Primary School mission of ‘together the best we can be – mahi tahi.’”
