It's cool to Walk to School
Auckland Transport
Good news! We have lift off for the Duke St/Mt Eden Rd WSB. Our very own Robyn Coutts and Delia Matthias, the WSB Community Transport Coordinator from Auckland Transport have volunteered their time to ‘drive’ the WSB on a Monday and Wednesday morning at 8.15am.
Departure point: 931 Mt Eden Rd, outside Mutiny Hair Salon. We will be walking along Mt Eden Rd to the crossing at the Balmoral/Mt Eden Rd
intersection.
A walking school bus is a safe, free, fun and healthy way to get to school.
There are lots of other benefits too:
- reduces traffic congestion around the school gate/on roads
- builds confidence and independence for the juniors walking into the classroom
- great way to meet and connect with other school families
- reduces the stress of finding a carpark nearby
- students arrive at school on time
- your child meets you at a safe place away from the school traffic and is supervised on their walk to/from school
- contributes to a reduction of carbon (CO2) emissions into the environment
So, please join us for the launch of the Duke St/Mt Eden Rd WSB on Monday 29 March 2021. There will be a surprize reward for everyone who joins the WSB on that day.
