Walk to School Month

In the month of October we will be doing Walk to School Month.

Everyday students will be documenting whether they walked, rode or scootered to school. 

Last year Victorian students walked 1.7 million kilometres, the equivalent of walking around Australia 112 times or two return trips to the moon!

Walk to School is a VicHealth community initiative designed to get more students and their families up and moving by walking, riding or scooting to and from school. The program aims to inspire kids and their families about active travel by challenging Victorians to develop healthy habits by walking to school during the month of October.

As an incentive to participate, Council and VicHealth are offering schools $300 worth of sporting equipment. We will also be in the draw to win one of two mobile coffee cart experiences for a morning to reward parents for helping their children travel actively to school. Council will present the ‘Golden Shoe’ trophy to the school with the highest percentage of students who walk, cycle, skate or scoot to school during October 2019.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone being active in the month of October!
