VicHealth’s Walk to School Campaign
Every October, Walk to School encourages Victorian primary school kids to walk, ride or scoot to and from school. It’s a great way to help students learn healthy habits and achieve the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity, every day.
We will be running ‘Walking Buses’ on the following dates in October;
Wednesday the 18th of October
‘Walking Bus’ departing the Rosebud R.S.L at 8:10am
Wednesday the 25th of October
‘Walking Bus’ departing the Rosebud Shire Offices at 8:20am
Wednesday the 1st of November
‘Walking Bus’ departing the Rosebud Library at 8:00am
Everybody is welcome to join us on the ‘Walk to School’ bus. Please respond to the Operoo and check the box for each walk your child will attend. I ask that each student have a parent attend to help supervise the walk.
I look forward to seeing you on the ‘Walk to School’ bus in October and November!
