MOVE IN MARCH

St. Mary’s Primary School has signed up to participate in MOVE IN MARCH, along with many other schools in Moonee Valley.

MOVE IN MARCH encourages all school kids to walk, ride, scoot or catch public transport to and from school. It’s a great way to help students learn healthy habits and achieve the recommended 60 minutes a day physical activity, every day.

Along with these benefits, walking and riding to school reduces congestion around the school, saves on parking and helps the environment. So, it’s great for the whole school community.

Therefore, we at St. Mary’s are encouraging all students to walk, ride, scoot or catch public transport to and from school as many times as possible during the month of March. The Environmental Captains will be speaking to classes all about it next week.

Once you get to school don’t forget to record your walk, ride, or scoot on the calendars which will be in your classroom, so we can record the highest participation rate in Moonee Valley.

Walking part of the way is ok too!!

You can still participate if you live too far to walk all the way, just park a few blocks away from the school or at the Park and Walk location and walk part of the way to and from school!  

Let's get active!
