Queensland Health supports Walk Safely to School Day

Many students like walking to school because it gives students time to talk to their friends. However, many parents or caregivers are concerned about safety issues with students walking to school. Walk Safely to School Day is an excellent opportunity for parents or caregivers to find out for themselves how safe or unsafe their child’s walk to school may be and show their child what behaviours can make it safe to walk to school.

The more students walk to school, the less traffic congestion will be around schools to cause safety concerns for walking students. Queensland Health endorses walking as a fun, healthy and environmentally friendly way of travelling.
