This week is Walk n Wheel to School Week.

At East Taieri School we want to inspire our students to be fit and active. We would love to have as many students as possible walking or wheeling to and from school.

We know that the roads around East Taieri School are increasingly busy, however, it is still possible to walk, bike or scooter to East Taieri School safely. Walking along the railway side of Gladstone Road is a great option. The East Taieri Walk n Wheel to School Map provides some suggested drop-off points and their distances from the school.

Support this fantastic event. Help spread the word and provide a safe walking/wheeling environment for our children to get to school

Lots Of Chances To Win

The more tamariki walk or wheel during the week, the more chances they have of winning a spot prize including Sports Depot, Megazone vouchers & Dunedin Ice Skating vouchers. You can also win prizes by snapping a photo of your family walking or wheeling to school, then posting on the Walk 'n' Wheel event page on the Sport Otago Facebook page.
