Walk to School

It's great to see a number of our students walking, riding, or scooting to school and completing their 'Walking Tickets'. The program runs from 7 October to 1 November 2019.

A ‘Walking Ticket’ has been distributed to each student who walks, rides or scoots to school. Parents should initial the ticket for each day a child walks, rides or scoots to school from the beginning of term 4 until 1 November. Once all ten stars on the ticket have been initialled the student should return the ticket to the school office and collect another one. Returned tickets will go into a draw to win a Fitbit (or other similar device) or a seven day trial membership to Glen Eira Leisure .

Tips for walking to school:

1. Walk together: Walking can be a great way to get active as a family - so everybody benefits! Just walk part way If you live too far away. This avoids the hassle of parking near the school.

2. Build up road safety knowledge: Teach your children road safety and navigation skills by riding or walking around your neighbourhood.

3. Find some walking buddies: Chat with other families about setting up buddy groups of older children who can walk together.

4. Mix it up: Riding a bike or scooter is great exercise too!
