National Ride 2 School Day

Friday 13 March

Friday the 13th of March 2020 is National Ride to School Day.  We encourage students to participate by riding their bike, scooting, skating or walking to school. 

 

Active travel is a great way for students of all ages to meet their recommended daily dose of 60 minutes of physical activity every day.

 

The purpose of National Ride2School Day is to show school communities that riding, walking, scooting and skating to school is an easy and fun activity. It is a chance to celebrate active travel on a large scale.

 

Part Way is ok.  Many students live some distance from the school so having parents park a couple of blocks away and then having students ride or walk the rest of the way is an alternative to parents driving to the school gate or looking for parking. This provides students the opportunity to ride and walk a portion of their journey to school.  It also has the added benefit of reducing congestion around the school gates.

 

So join in and celebrate National Ride2School Day 2020 by riding, walking, scooting or skating.

Remember that every Monday is Walk/Ride to School Day at Footscray West Primary School.
