Walk, Ride, or Skate to School Day 2023

 

Are you coming to one of Australia’s biggest active travel events? 

Join Kalinda's parents, teachers & students from prep through to grade 6 for National Ride2School Day on Friday 24th March.

 

It is a day full of fun and exercise where students, teachers, and parents rediscover the joy of riding, scootering, skating, or walking. 

 

The key message is our school is participating in National Ride2School Day on Friday 24th March because research shows that active children are healthy, happy, and better learners. 

Walking, scooting, skating, or riding a bike to and from school is a great way to gain the essential 60 minutes of daily physical activity our children require. To raise awareness about the importance of active travel and to encourage healthy habits the school encourages students to bike ride, scoot, or walk to and/or from school on the day.  You might like to walk, scoot, skate, or ride a bike with a group of friends or you can drive part of the way and walk, skate, or ride the rest! 

 

Please remember road safety rules and always cross the road with an adult. Please walk your bike or scooter across the road, and use pedestrian crossings where possible. 

 

Walking, riding, or skating to school is a great way for children to have an impact on their environment and reduce the carbon emissions that come from cars. 

Meaning children are helping to protect their future by understanding the importance of pollution and doing something about it!
