2013 National Walk Safely to School Day

Hundreds of thousands of primary school children right around Australia will be making important steps towards a healthier childhood as a part of national Walk Safely to School Day. Now in it’s fourteenth consecutive year, the Walk Safely to School Day initiative will be celebrated on Friday 24 May 2013. Walk Safely to School Day promotes the vitally important message: Active Kids are Healthy Kids. The event encourages parents, carers and their children to build regular walking to and from school into their daily routine. This year will see the exciting new addition of the Walk Safely to School Day App for Apple and Android phones, allowing children and parents/carers to track their kilometres travelled to and from school as well as a host of other fun and functional features to be discovered together.
