On 7 November, students from Room 8 conducted a Your Move Transport Survey of students from PrePrimary to Year 6. The survey found that more student are walking (30% more) and cycling (66% more) to school than the previous year. However, there are still 55% of students travelling to school in cars. Not only does the number of cars cause congestion outside the school but also contributes to pollution. We would like to see more students walking or riding to school and will be looking at ways we can encourage this in the future. To help with this a Your Move suggestion box has been put next to the Highway Hero box for students to submit their suggestions on ways to promote active transport. Parents are also welcome to make suggestions.

Hi Julia - it's lovely to see Winterfold back in the Your Move realm! You received 15 points for setting up a suggestion box and another 20 points for running a hands-up survey. It is encouraging to see that you have had some positive improvements in your active travel levels - have you been doing much promotion? Let us know of any YM activities you have been doing since your post last year and we can give you more points!
