Walk Safely to School Day
Walk Safely to School Day
On Friday 18th May 2018, Sunshine Coast Council is urging students to join thousands of students across Australia and walk, scoot or skate to school for Walk Safely to School Day.
Walk Safely to School Day (WSTSD) is an annual, national event when all Primary School children will be encouraged to walk and commute safely to school. This year all students at PLC are encouraged to participate in this event. The walk is a Community Event seeking to promote Road Safety, Health, Public Transport and the Environment. By walking to school, you’ll get some great exercise and quality time with friends, as well as reducing traffic congestion and pollution around the school.
Students within the Sunshine Coast Council region should register on Council’s website before Friday 18th May 2018 to enter the draw for great prizes, including ten scooters and ten skateboards. Register now at www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au
If possible, parents are invited to join with their children in walking (or riding if you live too far away to walk) all or part of the way from home to school on Friday 18th May 2018.
If you feel you live too far away to walk from home, then meet at Oakdale Park, in Oakdale Circuit, Currimundi and join us for a short 850m walk from there. Staff will be there to meet you at 8.00am, for an 8:05am departure. To ensure the safety of our students, we ask that children are accompanied by a parent / carer where possible.
