Walk n Wheel to School Week is only a week away.

This weeklong event aims to kick start active transport for the school year, encouraging tamariki to scooter, bike or walk to school. At East Taieri School we try to inspire our students to be fit and active.  We would love to see as many students as possible walking or wheeling to and from school.

There are great prizes up for grabs. Just snap a photo of you walking with your child/children and then post it to the Sport Otago Facebook or Instagram page with the hashtag #walknwheeldaydunedin2021. Help spread the word and provide a safe walking/wheeling environment for our children to get to school

Reasons to walk or wheel to school

• Improve health and fitness

• Learn about road safety

• Reduce pollution

• Save money on petrol

• Fewer cars and less chaos at the school gate

• Have fun with friends and make new ones

• To be fresh and ready for learning at the start of the school day
