Walk Safely to School Day - Friday 10th May

Students and Parents are invited to join us on the 10th May to paricipate in 

"Walk Safely to School Day".  Meet with teachers from the below meeting points at 

8:15 ready to walk at 8:20.

• Brindisi Street

• Dolamore Oval 

• Mentone Fire Station

Walk Safely to School Day asks that we all consider our transport habits and try to incorporate more walking as part of a healthy, active way to get around. And although walking all the way to school isn’t realistic for many of us, it’s quite easy to figure out how you can build a walk into your family’s daily routine. 

You can teach your child the healthy habit of walking more by: 

• Walking with them the whole way to school 

• If they get the bus or train, walk past your usual stop and get on at the next stop 

• If you have to drive, park the car a few blocks away from the school and walk the rest of the way. 

Regular exercise like walking with your child not only helps them (and you!) beat chronic problems like obesity, heart disease, behavioural and mental health issues and diabetes. It also gives you a great opportunity to teach your child safe ways to behave around roads and traffic.
