Friday 19 May is National Walk Safely to School Day. Walk Safely to School Day is an annual event when all primary school children are encouraged to walk to school. It promotes road safety, healthy lifestyle, and a clean environment.

To celebrate Walk Safely to School Day, our school is having a Park’n’Stride event.

Being part of the Active School Travel program, we are already leading by example and encouraging our students to actively travel every week. Being part of a national day also demonstrates we are part of a much bigger, international movement encouraging healthier habits, greater physical and mental wellbeing, and a greener environment. Active School Travel is one of the easiest ways to incorporate physical activity into everyday life for all children. So join in the fun, be active and healthy, and walk to school with your child on Friday 19 May.
