Friday May 19th is National ‘Walk Safely to School’ day.
The objective of the day is to:
- Encourage families to walk to school
- Promote the benefits of walking and create regular habits
- Develop vital road safety skills
- Reduce car dependency and congestion
- Reduce the level of air pollution by motor vehicles
If your child is not a regular walker, we are again encouraging our families to make this day an opportunity to have your child walk to school (with under 10 year olds accompanied by an adult).
If you live in Hahndorf, you may want to leave home a little earlier and walk to school from home.
If you live outside of Hahndorf, you could park on the edge of town and walk to school from there.
While walking, you may wish to talk to your child about staying safe as a pedestrian.
Mrs Taylor will be giving out special commemorative stickers at the Balhannah Road school gate for all children who walked to school.
