2024 Walk to School Day

On Friday 10th May, we celebrated walk to school day. 

This initiative is to get kids in the habit of walking to school young to help them feel great now, and lead healthy, active lives into the future. This is what VicHealth’s Walk to School initiative is all about. This includes working with schools and local councils to make it easy, safe and accessible.

Being active every day is great for kids. Why?

It helps: 

• Mental wellbeing
• Mood and self-esteem
• Confidence and life skills
• Connection with family, friends and neighbours  

Moving commutes from the roads to the footpath also helps: 

• Make school streets safer
• Reduce traffic congestion
• Contribute to a healthier environment

Thankyou to all that participated in the walk-to-school program! We look forward to seeing you continue to walk to school throughout this school year!
