Walk and Wheel Wednesdays

Boroondara Park has had so many students walking and wheeling to school throughout the term.   This week, 6SJ beat 4JK's previous high score by 1% with 72% of their class walking or wheeling to school.  6LK came third with 67% of their students walking or wheeling.  BPPS has had roughly 50% of the staff and students walking or wheeling to school each week.  Every week, more students are participating which is fantastic to see. Next week we are aiming for 55% so please make sure that you are part of the team.

Walk and Wheel Wednesdays have so many benefits including:

• Reduced traffic congestion
• Keeping our bodies active
• Extra quality time with family and friends.  

If you live far away or the weather is not ideal for walking, your family can park the car close by and walk part of the way to school. 

Wheeling can include various modes of transport including bike, scooter, skateboard, and unicycle.  There will be an award for the class with most walkers and wheelers in Junior School (Foundation- Grade 2) and Middle/Senior School (Grades 3- 6)

Please remember if you are riding to school, that once you arrive at the gates to get off and walk your bike to the bike storage area.  Orlando (6HR) rides his biked to school daily to keep himself healthy.  In this picture above he is demonstrating how he walks his bike to through the school. 

Grace and Paige in 4JX have created a beautiful drawing of them walking to school and being greeted by Sandra BPPS' famous lollypop lady.  

The “Walk and Wheel” Art Gallery has re-opened.    Please send any drawings or poems to 6HR so that we can celebrate our budding artists. 

An important Reminder that National Ride to School Day is on the 22nd of March.  Parent helpers are needed for helping out in the morning.  If you can help please contact Heidi Roast at heidi.roast@education.vic.gov.au
