Princes Hill Primary School
will be celebrating National Ride2School day on Friday 23rd of
March, along with thousands of other schools around the country. We would like
to encourage students and their families to leave their car at home on this day
and get a taste of the benefits, ease and fun involved in choosing to walk and
wheel to school.
Ride2School Team Manager, Kelly Pearson said the success of the
Ride2School program and its positive impact on students’ health is evident in
the numbers. Over 140,000 students participate in this event.
“Schools that are registered in the Ride2School program more than double
the national average riding rate. These students increase the time they devote
to physical activity which helps reduce the risk of obesity and associated
health problems,” she said.
Montana and Holly, students in Grade5/6FM are organising this event for
the school and will be gathering data on the day and taking photos.
