Walk Safely to School Day – Friday 24 May

Walk Safely to School Day asks that we all consider our

transport habits and try to incorporate more walking as

part of a healthy, active way to get around. And although

walking all the way to school isn’t realistic for many of us,

it’s quite easy to figure out how you can build a walk into

your family’s daily routine.

You can teach your child the healthy habit of walking

more by:

Walking with them the whole way to school

If they get the bus or train, walk past your usual

stop and get on at the next stop

If you have to drive, park the car a few blocks

away from the school and walk the rest of the way.

Regular exercise like walking with your child not only

helps them (and you!) beat chronic problems like obesity,

heart disease, behavioural and mental health issues and

diabetes, it also gives you a great opportunity to teach

your child safe ways to behave around roads and traffic.

Remember, Active Kids are Healthy Kids so get planning

your own Walk Safely to School Day journey for Friday

24 May 2013!

For more information, visit

www.walk.com.au

Students will receive a sticker on

the day.

Bunning BBQ - Saturday, 11 May

I know the weekend is busy, but we would really

appreciate any help you could give us on Saturday at our

Bunnings BBQ Fundraiser at Morisset. We particularly

need helpers in the afternoon - anytime from 12:30pm-

4:00pm. We may only have a few people who may need to

be there most of the day - so even helping us for an

hour would be great as it enables others to have a break.

You are most welcome to pop in on the day, or just leave

me a message at the office on Friday.

All money raised goes towards air-conditioning for the

classrooms.

Thanks

Jeanette Mangan
