Kingston Council: WOW- Walk or Wheel to school

Kingston Council staff have worked with staff, students and parents (surveys & consultations) to develop the ‘St Catherine’s Primary School Walk & Wheel Route Map’. A copy of the map was sent home to each family last week. The council also donated a drink bottle which was sent home  with your child last week.

The suggested routes to school map has been designed to help encourage students to walk, bike, scoot, skate or park and stride safely to school. 

The Golden Boot award will be awarded this week to a class who walked or wheeled the most over the last 6 weeks.  Our Year 6 Leaders will calculate the average scores and present the award to the winning class. 

We are hoping to do this again in Term 3 and 4 in order to embed the routine of walking or wheeling to school. With more students travelling actively to school, this will reduce the amount of cars on the road and traffic congestion during busy drop off and pick up times.
