WOW- Walk or wheel

WOW! LET’S USE OUR ROAD SAFETY SKILLS

Dear parents and carers,

We hope this message finds you well. We wanted to remind you of the 'WOW' program, also known as 'Walk or Wheel Once a Week,' that the City of Kingston is delivering. This program encourages students to walk, scoot, or bike to school every Wednesday.

Taking part in the ‘WOW’ is a good opportunity to use our road safety knowledge and skills. 

Check with your child to see if they remember some of these tips: 

• Stop, look both ways and listen before crossing the road.
• Use the Safety Door when getting in or out of cars. This is the kerbside, away from traffic. 
• Don't cross the road when you're standing in between 2 parked cars. 
• Always wear a helmet when cycling or riding a scooter.

We encourage everyone to continue participating in the 'WOW' program and to do so safely. Let's work together to make our journeys to school a safe and healthy experience.
