Walk and Wheel Wednesdays

Featuring: Harry, Steph, James and Mia (Grade 6) walking to school  

The Spring weather is coming out a little earlier this year, and it is showing in the amount of walkers and wheelers BPPS had this week.  We had 49% of the entire school walking and wheeling this week.  This is a phenomenal effort! Congratulations to 5CB who had 68% of their class and 1PT who had 65% of their class walking or wheeling to school.

Walk and Wheel Wednesdays have so many benefits including:

  • Reduced traffic congestion
  • Keeping our bodies active
  • Extra quality time with family and friends.  

 

If you live far away or the weather is not ideal for walking, your family can park the car close by and walk part of the way to school. 

 

Wheeling can include various modes of transport including bike, scooter, skateboard, and unicycle.  There will be an award for the class with most walkers and wheelers in Junior School (Foundation- Grade 2) and Middle/Senior School (Grades 3- 6)

 

 

Please remember if you are riding to school, that once you arrive at the gates to get off and walk your bike to the bike storage area.  Orlando (6HR) rides his bike to school daily to keep himself healthy.  In the picture above, he is demonstrating how he walks his bike through the school.

Walk or wheel

Don't ride in a car

If you do, park a little far

The “Walk and Wheel” Art Gallery has re-opened.    Please send any drawings or poems to 6HR so that we can celebrate our budding artists.
