Walk to School Week begins tomorrow - Monday 5 March to Friday 9 March.
Walk to School Week is an initiative run by Sport Otago in conjunction with the Dunedin City Council to promote and encourage active transport to school and is offered to all Otago primary schools. Students are encouraged to walk to school. Walk to School Week is used to 'kick-off' the year for active transport and to keep students aware of the importance of using active transport. So help spread the word and provide a safe walking environment for our children to get to school.
Please help encourage your child / children to walk to school; there are great prizes up for grabs. Children will be given a progress card to fill in each time they walk. Completed cards will then be sent away to Sport Otago for the chance to win a prize. Spot prizes will also be given out at school.
