Discover how your school moves
Once you’ve signed up to the program a good way to get started is to use our quick and easy 'Hands up' travel survey to find out how your students currently get to school. The survey results are a great way to track your progress and promote your achievements to the whole school community.
Grow your team
Once you’ve signed up, share the fun by getting others in your school community involved. Students love the opportunity to run their own activities, post stories and earn points for their efforts. A parent, teacher, school deputy and a group of student leaders make a winning combination to lead activities.
Choose your activities
Use our new ‘Activity Planner’ to set goals, identify things you want to achieve and the steps you need to take to get there. Select from our tried and tested classroom activities and lesson plans mapped to the WA curriculum. We also have other activity ideas like event days and competitions to help get your students moving.
Share your stories and earn points
Tell everyone about what you've been up to and earn points for your school, which can then be redeemed for items in our rewards shop. Get inspiration and new ideas from what other schools have been doing.
Spend your points on rewards
Use your points to order items in our online rewards shop, specifically chosen to support active travel. Rewards include leadership team t-shirts, bike and scooter racks, bike education sessions and fun incentives for your students.
Keep the momentum going!
Use your rewards to build momentum and unlock access to a ‘Connecting Schools Grant’, which can be used for big ticket items like bike racks, bike shelters and to run bike education sessions at your school.

The last newsletter for 2024, was sent out to parents of Osborne Primary students at the end of last week. We of course mentioned our end of year excursion to the safety school for the upper school students. That excursion was possible by having enough points to purchase it through the reward shop, so thanks to Your Move! Another important message that went home in the newsletter was about headphones, mobiles and pedestrians. This road safety fact sheet, reminds us about being aware of our surroundings when you are using headphones. This is something I'm sure we all see when we're out and about.

Mr Reid, Principal of Coolbinia PS, and Dr Lewis, Coolbinia's YM Coordinator, attended the 2024 Your Move Awards recently. Coolbinia PS had the great honour of being recognised as a Finalist Your Move Schools Champion. It was a wonderful event celebrating and promoting all the different aspects of Your Move.
This year Coolbinia PS achieved the highest level of Your Move recognition: Double Platinum status. The whole school community was congratulated for their support for active travel throughout the year. Double Platinum status means the school is eligible for a Your Move Connecting Schools grant in 2025. We have requested funding for bike safety checks and bike education for the Year 4s, an excursion to the Maylands bike safety school for the Year 5s and a road track for the early childhood classes, who received new trikes and balance bikes this year.
The final Your Move community event for 2024 was held on Wednesday 20 November. The focus for this event was reduce your carbon footprint by coming to school in an active way - walking or riding on a bike/scooter. Room 5 Your Move leaders organised this special celebration and welcomed students as they arrived at school with stickers, eco tokens and lucky dip prizes. This event was a great success thanks to the enthusiastic participation of the students, parents and staff. Congratulations were also extended to all students in our two classes of Year 4 Your Move leaders during 2024!
These recent YM developments were reported in the school community Bulletins: https://sway.cloud.microsoft/DRSCqrBtqAJfK49x?ref=email and https://sway.cloud.microsoft/EoZsxwbRhOoDDVFo?ref=email as part of our regular promotion of Your Move. What a grand finish to 2024!
In preparing for 2025, Your Move is included in school plans and the new Coolbinia YM Coordinator has been briefed. We are ready to rock and roll into an active new school year!
Thanks to everyone in the DoT YM Team for amazing support throughout the year. Celebrations abound!
After completing our Hands up Survey in term 4, we looked at the data and realised our bike riding cohort were not increasing as the years went on. Osborne Primary has done bike education lessons for the last 4 years and been to the Maylands safety school for the last 2 years, to consolidate these bike skills. So, the Your Move monitors came up with possible reasons why more upper school children don't ride to school more often.
We then decided to find out from parents if these reasons were the same as ours!
A connect notice was sent to all parents via mobile phone, of the Yr 3 - 6 students, to see why more children in this group don't ride to school more often. Disappointingly, we only had a small number of responses for the 6 questions asked of parents. One major concern was, lack of traffic wardens on most roads, which means cars don't slow down or stop for kids crossing. We do have a traffic warden on Hutton Street, but that is a double lane main road, and of course it's not viable to have wardens on all roads leading to the school.
