International Walk to School Month is observed every year during the month of October. This initiative highlights the many benefits of walking – not just for childrens physical health, but also for their confidence and sense of independence.

So why don’t you celebrate International Walk to School Month with your families by informing them of the initiative this October? By encouraging parents to walk to collect their children you will be promoting healthy habits and cleaner air. The walk home is also a nice time for the children to reflect on their day and discuss what they have been up to with their parents and carers.
