Walk/Ride to School Month
VicHealth’s Walk to School month is a free, easy and fun way for kids to get active this October.
Sorrento Primary students are encouraged to walk, ride or scoot to and from school to kick-start healthy travel habits that can lead to good health for life. October is a great time to start walking, because Victoria's fabulous spring sunshine makes it a pleasure to get out of the house, and the car! We are encouraging all students to meet some of our teachers every Wednesday throughout the month of
October at 8.30am at the Sorrento Community Centre. From there we will walk to school. Students can sign up at http://www.walktoschool.vic.gov.au to track their achievements throughout October and be in the running for fantastic prizes. This is a great opportunity for all to celebrate getting active by riding, walking, skating or scooting to school and for our school community to
embrace active travel. Make sure the classroom
calendar is marked off and eat the piece of fruit that is provided for the children who walk/ride to school.
