Did you know walking is good for Children? Why not start your Tuesday morning with a walk and join the Walking School Bus!

• Walking is good for children’s physical health: Regular physical activity builds and maintains healthy bones, muscles and joints.

• Walking is good for children’s mental health: Physical activity helps to reduce levels of stress, depression and anxiety and can be a good social activity where children connect with their neighbours, become familiar with their surroundings and the community.

• Children that are active are more likely to continue healthy behaviours later in life.

A committed group of volunteers, take time to walk students to each Primary school in Beechworth every Tuesday morning starting at the old post office at 8.20am.

Sign up today and registration forms are available at the front office. Contact Beechworth Health Service for any further information.
