College takes ‘Walk to School Day’ in its stride

23.05.19

Friday, 10 May was National Walk to School Day. Over 50 staff, parents and students walked from the Mount Gambier Railway Lands, along the 'rail trail' to the College.

It was a spectacular morning for a walk and it was terrific to see such a big group take part in the annual, national event.

Walk Safely to School Day promotes the important message that active kids are healthy kids. The event encourages parents, carers and their children to build regular walking to and from school into their daily routine.

Encouraging less driving and more walking aims to decrease vehicle congestion around schools and reduce carbon emissions from idling cars. Lastly, it is just a nice way to be part of your community.
