What is Walk Safely to School Day all about?

Walk Safely to School Day is part of National Road Safety Week and will be celebrated on Friday 19th May 2023. It aims to improve the environment and our daily exercise routines.

Walking to school is the perfect way to start the day by getting some exercise and fresh air, ready to start school with a clear mind. Here are some of the benefits you can enjoy when you choose to walk to school:

• Walking offers a great opportunity to remind children about safe pedestrian behaviour and recap on the rules of the road.
• Being outside in the fresh air creates a space in your day for mindful exercise. Walking and taking in the scenery around you creates a sense of calm that will set you up for the rest of your day.
• Walking to school will help to reduce the air pollution in your area or near your school.
• By using your feet instead of a car, you can also play your part in helping to reduce traffic congestion.

How can you get involved and support the cause?

1.  Let us know how many family members will join us - siblings more than welcome.

2. Next Friday put on your walking shoes and be ready to walk to school.
3. Meet SJV staff on the grass near the Labor club underpass at 8.00am.

4. The group (staff, students and parents) will begin walking at 8.15am going through the underpass and along the footpath straight to school.

5. When walkers arrive at school they will receive a cereal breakfast (cornflakes or rice bubbles) -  Coffee and tea available for adults.

6. Children will receive a tattoo and certificate of participation.

Hope to see as many adults and children join us.

Have a super day on Sunday!

Wishing all the mothers and mother figures in our community a wonderful Mother's Day on Sunday.  No matter how you spend it, I hope you know how special you all are.
