About Jump Rope for Heart
Being active is one of the most important ways that children can improve their health and wellbeing. Unfortunately, three out of four primary school-aged kids don’t meet physical activity guidelines, leaving them at greater risk of heart disease as adults.
That’s where Jump Rope for Heart can help your school. Jump Rope for Heart encourages kids to enjoy exercise and adopt lifelong heart-healthy habits. By fundraising through their skipping achievements, our Heart Heroes help contribute to life-saving research and see firsthand how their actions can make a difference to the lives – and hearts – of others.

School spotlight: OneSchool Global WA
In 2025, OneSchool Global WA creatively integrated Jump Rope for Heart into their school culture, resulting in motivated, active students who are proud to be Heart Heroes, and teachers who enjoy a flexible, easy-to-run program that boosts school spirit and engagement.
“The biggest change I’ve seen in our students since joining Jump Rope for Heart is not just the new skipping skills they’ve learned, but their growing sense of empathy. They now have a much deeper understanding of why we’re fundraising, and they genuinely appreciate how their efforts are helping others.”
