Walk to School 2021
Put a spring in the step of our local kids by encouraging them to get involved in Walk to School!
This is a great time for us all to get involved in helping families stay healthy and active while following local coronavirus restrictions. When we support our kids to walk, ride, scoot or skate to school, we’re setting them up for healthy, active adult lives. We’re also making the streets around our schools safer and less congested.
VicHealth’s Walk to School program is easier than ever for schools and teachers. The focus is on encouraging kids to be active before and after school—whether or not they’re back in classrooms—while making sure they stay safe and follow the latest health advice.
Visit walktoschool.vic.gov.au to find out more about how the kids at your school can get involved in Walk to School and to access free resources, including a range of worksheets designed for simple, flexible activities that can be used by parents, carers and teachers.
Did you know that we have a Peddle Park at George Lay Park in Swan Hill? It is a perfect place to teach children of all ages some road rules when walking, riding, scooting or skating with street signs and road markings. Check it out in Murlong Street, Swan Hill, see map below.
