How the school program works

Grow an active community at your school and help inspire healthy travel habits. Our travel behaviour change experts will help you to support more students and their families walking, wheeling and riding for the school journey, tackle traffic issues and help provide practical ways to teach and develop sustainability at your school. Read the steps below to get a better understanding of how this award winning program works.

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.

Bike Games

Over 100 students brought their bikes to school on Friday to participate in bike games organised by our students leaders. Hopefully there are some students who rode on Friday, enjoyed it and continue the practice into the future!

Scarborough PS celebrates R U OK Day?

On Thursday the 12th of September, SPS promoted an active travel event to support R U, OK? Day. Thursday is our regular active travel day, but we promoted this special event for the community, students and their families to celebrate in this day around mental health and wellbeing, R U, OK? All SPS staff were notified through in a whole school email. Then, again with our flyer, each class teacher emailed their families advertising this special event. A huge shout out to my YM student team and their parents! Each student iced and decorated biscuits in yellow to serve with a cup of Milo for all the active travellers. This year we included the ‘before school’ students. They ran around the oval twice to dine in the treats! We included sports equipment which was placed in an ‘active corner’ on the basketball court with skipping ropes and hoops. Looking at the data that was collected by the team on Thursday, it was amazing! We reached 63%! What a great result! Well done to everyone who took part and supported this event! Especially the Pre-Primary students, your active travel data is fab!! The community and families are vital for this program to continue to be successful! Thanks again, to the YM student team for coming in early to set up and for the amazing Mrs D for your assistance serving the Milo and offering a helping hand! Another successful event! Go SPS!
