This week, we conducted our first hands up survey for 2022.

Looking from November 2021, there has been an increase of students cycling to school and a decrease of students driving. I wonder if this is due to the new scooter racks we had installed or the cooler March weather.

However, when you compare the pair from this time last year, more students are coming by car and less actively getting to school.

I wonder if we are actually making a difference?

Hi Nicole, it is quite normal to see some ups and downs in hands-up survey results, particularly with COVID restrictions having an impact at schools across Perth this term. Faced with these challenges it is a great achievement to maintain the school’s level of active travel at a fairly steady rate. Remember 36% is much higher than the state average! Sometimes messaging can get forgotten over the summer holidays and it takes a bit of time for old habits to kick back in. I am sure with the events
