Walk and Wheels on Wednesday

Walk and Wheels on Wednesday

Starting next Wednesday (10th August), and continuing each week the Green Team is co-ordinating Walk and Wheels on Wednesday (WaWoW). Students are encouraged to walk, ride or scoot to school each Wednesday and with results from each class collected by the Green Team reps. These results will be combined with the Nude Food results from Tuesdays to work out the weekly winner of our Healthy Planet trophy (presented at assembly each week).

Students who are unable to walk to school can also be counted as active if you park your car in a nearby street and walk the last couple of blocks to school. Those at before school care can be active by choosing an active activity in the before school program on that day.

We are initiating this for 3 main reasons:

• To reduce air pollution
• To promote activity and exercise
• To create safter streets for pedestrians and cyclists (especially at drop off and pick up times)
