Walking to school

Students, staff, parents and the wider community of St Joseph’s School Trafalgar took part in National Walk Safely to School Day on May 19.

The day is organised so that students can consider transport habits and try to incorporate more walking as part of a healthy, active way to get around.

Families gathered at two different meeting places, McGregor Park and Trafalgar Football oval, and then walked safely to school.

There were many happy faces from students, staff, parents and the wider community as they walked and were met at school with fruit platters and Walk to School stickers.

Throughout the week students completed many learning activities to promote and discuss the benefits of walking to school. Road safety was also a focus in the learning.

School principal Patricia Mulqueen said it was a wonderful way to start the day and fun was had by all who participated.

It was a big cheer in the playground when this group of St Joseph’s Primary School students compeleted their Walk to School activity at Trafalgar.
