TRAVEL WISE HORIZONS - trying to KEEP SAFE on our JOURNEY28 September 2022 (by admin) |
Related to our earlier mobile app message, WE VERY MUCH ARE ENGAGED IN PROMOTING WELLBEING, FITNESS, walking to school SAFELY. Imagine the scene...children walking safely to school with their parents/trusted adult.
Dear Parent/Carer,
Our school is taking part in #TravelWiseWeek from 16-22 October 2022. The nationwide event is organised by Modeshift, a not-for-profit membership organisation that exists to increase levels of active and sustainable travel in business, education, and community settings.
TravelWise Week is designed to help our children experience the benefits and understand the importance of sustainable and active travel. Children will be well on their way to reaching their recommended 60 minutes minimum of physical activity per day before even reaching the school gates! Not only will it set them up for a positive day in the classroom, but it will also help create healthy habits for life.
What do I need to do as a parent caregiver?
If possible, help your child/children to travel actively to school from 16-22 October, helping our school reduce congestion and pollution around the school gates (wouldn't this be great!). If you live far away from school and need to drive or take public transport, try parking the car or hopping off the bus/train ten minutes away and walking the rest of the journey.

Making a difference to your child's fitness.
Park further from school in a safe place/spot. Enjoy walking your child to school and keep the roads, closer to school, safe for our children.
