Ride2School Day and ACTIVEPaths Launch - Friday 11th March 2016 |
Our Let’s Go Retro – Let’s Get Active for Ride2School Day is this Friday 11th March.
We are winding back the clock and dressing up to the 70's retro theme, based on the statistics that in the 1970s, eight out of ten students rode or walked to school. Today, that number has dropped to just two out of ten.
And we are really excited to announce that our ACTIVEPaths will also be launched on Friday!!
Clickhere to see the map and choose your favourite path for your walk/ride/scoot/skate to school.
Meet at the start of your path at 8:20am, departing with your group at 8:30am.
There'll be VIP guests, healthy second breakfast at school, and a special assembly at 9am - all welcome. And there are prizes so be in it to win it!!
(Active Paths is a safe routes to school wayfinding project, a collaboration between APPS, City of Port Phillip Council and Bicycle Network - read more at www.bicyclenetwork.com.au/general/programs/358/)
A fantastic film starring APPS students about the benefits of walking to school. Created by Steve Doyle (parent at APPS). Warning: There is a scene of free-range chickens in a suburban street.
