National Walk Safely To School Day

Schools across the region took to the streets and walked safely to school last Friday for National Walk Safely To School Day.

“It’s just about getting exercise and a breath of fresh air,” said Mackay Christian College year 7 student Enoch Gallogray.

“It’s amazing to see everyone excited about exercising.”

St Joseph's Catholic Primary School Sport Captain Isobel Rippingale agreed, sharing some tips about walking to school safely.

“It’s important to be safe around road signs, lights, learn how to cross the road safely and look left and right at pedestrian crossings,” she said.
