Active Travel
We want students, families and staff to be enabled to ride, walk, and roll to school more often. Even walking part way (‘Drive to 5’) or changing one travel trip per week is a great step!
Active Travel to school has many benefits. It improves students’ health, well-being, and academic achievement. It also reduces traffic volume, congestion, air pollution and climate change impacts. And Active Travel creates opportunities for friendship, a sense of belonging and healthy independence.
Whether you ride, walk or roll, please:
- Travel together,
- Follow the rules of the road, and
- If you’re wheeled – please wear a helmet.
Thank you for your support – Let’s Go SD46!
