Welcome back to school for Term 2. It will be another exciting time with lots happening during the term. To keep up-to-date with school events, please check the live calendar on the school website.

Get Involved with Our “Your Move” Campaign

We are looking for interested members of our school community to help lead and support our Your Move campaign.

Your Move is a program that encourages students and families to choose active and sustainable ways to travel to school—such as walking, riding, scooting, or using public transport. The goal is to build healthy habits, reduce traffic around the school, and create a more active, connected community.

To keep the momentum going, we are hoping to form a small group of parents and community members who are willing to take a lead role in supporting the campaign.

This might include:

• Helping to plan and promote initiatives such as Your Move Wednesdays
• Organising simple activities or events throughout the year
• Assisting with rewards and prize systems for students
• Supporting communication and promotion within the school community

There is no expectation to take on a large workload—any level of support is appreciated, and involvement can be flexible.

If you are interested in getting involved or would like to find out more, please contact the school office or speak with me directly.

We would love to build a team of enthusiastic community members to help make active travel a regular part of school life.
