National Walk Safely To School Day 

Friday 19 May 2023 

Now in its 24th year, National Walk Safely to School Day is an annual event when all Primary School children will be encouraged to walk and commute safely to school. Burrendah would like to see as many students walk to school on this day. 

Every student who walks to school will receive a faction point. 

Apart from the physical benefits, regular walking also has a favourable impact on children's cognitive and academic performance. 

To promote National Walk to School Day, students can participate in a colouring in competition. Students can complete this activity in class or at home. Entries must be handed in, with their name and room number on it, before the end of Friday 19th May. Winners will be announced at a faction assembly later in Term 2, and winners will receive a $50 bike shop voucher to spend on something of their choice. 

Step into healthy habits and get involved today!

Our School Song

Our school song was written by students, and the original score was composed by Kate Graham (former Burrendah Music Teacher).

We sing this song at every assembly and we encourage parents/guardians to join us.

Together

Many cultures, one voice 

All together we have a choice 

We join as one hand in hand 

To become friends and understand 

We stand together to achieve 

Side by side we all believe 

We are the home of the nesting swan 

And all together we belong 

Encourage, Endeavour, and Excel 

We all have a story to tell 

United in our diversity 

We are a strong community 

We stand together to achieve 

Side by side we all believe 

We are the home of the nesting swan 

And all together we belong 

We stand together to achieve 

Side by side we all believe 

We are the home of the nesting swan 

And all together we belong 

We are the home of the nesting swan 

And all together we belong.
