Because of the terrible thunderstorms on Friday the Walk and Ride to School Day was postponed to Melbourne Cup Day on Tuesday.

We were so glad to see loads of joyful faces enjoying the day. There were so many bikes that our bike shed was overflowing!

There were 123 bike riders and a massive 256 students that walked to school, but sadly 144 students came in cars.

Congratulations to F4 and B7 who had the least amount of people who got a car ride to school. Overall 73% of all our school were active travellers. This was lower than our usual amount.

We think walking and riding to school is super important because it keeps you fit and healthy.

Now that the weather is finally improving we would love to see more people being active and walking or riding to school with friends.
