Walk to school safely day
Primary school aged children across Australia can take important steps towards a healthier future by participating in National Walk Safely to School Day on Friday 19 May 2023.
SPX students and families are welcomed to meet Mrs Hertsch and teachers at Unanderra oval, 8.30am to walk to school together.
National Walk Safely to School Day is a community initiative that aims to raise awareness of the health, road safety, transport and environmental benefits that regular walking (especially to and from school) can provide for the long term well-being of our children. Apart from the physical benefits, regular walking also has a favourable impact on children’s cognitive and academic performance.
TIPS TO GET WALKING
1. Walk some or if you can, walk all the way to school
2. Get off the bus, train, or tram a few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way
3. Leave the car at least 1km away from school and walk the rest of the way
4. Set your alarm 30 minutes earlier to fit in a walk to school
5. If you can’t walk in the morning, walk home after school.
