What is a WALKING SCHOOL BUS ?

A walking school bus is a group of children walking to school together with an adult ‘driver’. The benefits of a walking school bus include it’s a safe and healthy way to get to school; children learn and practice road safety, you can get to know others in the community, exercise for parent helpers - a great way to start your morning walk - drop the kids at school and carry on, and cutting down on pollution with less car trips.

It’s great for the kids, great for the community, great for the environment!

We have some wonderful parents who have offered to supervise some days on Walking School Buses - we’d love some more helpers! Please email Mrs Thompson if you would like to know more dthompson@wgp.school.nz
