Walk to School
Walk to School encourages primary school children to walk to and from school to highlight the ways walking improves children’s health and wellbeing.
By getting involved in Walk to School your school can help students learn healthy habits and achieve the 60 minutes of physical activity recommended for children each day. Walking to school can also help reduce traffic congestion parking difficulties and the associated environmental impacts.
Achievement Program registration

Canteen and menu assessments
A healthy diet and good oral health support well-being and are integral to healthy development. Experienced nutritionists and dietitians at the Healthy Eating Advisory Service can assess and provide advice to improve your school or early childhood centre canteen menu.
Encouraging active travel through safe routes to school
Active travel routes with designated ‘pick up/drop off points’ are safe and accessible routes children and families can use to safely walk and ride along to get to and from school.
Healthy fundraising
Instead of selling boxes of chocolates or lollies to raise money encourage health and wellbeing using these fun and easy products and activities.
