Theyre bungee jumping from a forty-meter height over Perthshires River Garry to raise funds for a playground upgrade. Inspired by viral social media clips, theyve chosen the Highland Fling Bungee near Pitlochry, where jump videos gain millions of views. The schools small size means tight-knit families, but events like fairs havent raised enough cash yet. The PE teacher, JP Mason, admits to anxiety but sees it as a chance to model pushing limits, just like he encourages students in sports. Theyre aiming for eight thousand pounds total through the school fair and more, with a GoFundMe campaign targeting two thousand four hundred pounds to soften the playground, extend the trim trail, and maybe add a multiuse games area or astroturf. Families plan a two-hour trek to cheer them on, showcasing the extra mile this dedicated staff and community always go for their school.
