Walking or riding to school is a great way for students to be physically active each morning and afternoon, while helping to reduce congestion around the school and limiting our environmental impact.

Our school is part of the Active Streets program, which is designed to drive culture change within school communities to make walking and riding to school the norm for Canberra students. Discussing riding or walking to school with your children may include:

• showing children the best route to and from school (in person and on a map – check out the Transport Canberra website)
• teaching children how to cross roads safely (utilise crossings and underpasses where possible)
• what to do in case of an emergency (key people to contact or where to go).

Walking or riding is a fun, safe and healthy way to get to school!
