We are now a Your Move School!
Your Move is a Department of Transport program that encourages students and their families to get active by walking, scooting and riding to school. These behavioural changes help instil lifelong healthy and positive habits and improve concentration and academic performance for students, while also reducing traffic and improving safety around the school.
Everyone can get involved in Your Move. Do you live too far away? Why not drive to a nearby park or café and then walk the rest of the way? Concerned about safety? Why not join your kids in walking or riding to school once a week? Small changes still make a big difference.
We earn Your Move points by posting stories and photos of our active transport adventures on the website; these can translate into grants to fund active transport facilities and activities for the school and other rewards.
During Term 2 2024 we were lucky enough to win a Super Boost grant that enabled us to have four sessions of Bike Education for all students in Years 3-6. Students were able to build on skills learnt from week to week, increasing their confidence and understanding of riding a bike and the road rules. We are hoping that this program will allow more students to actively come to school. The video below is a snapshot of the program.
At the end of Term 1 2023 we held an event in partnership with the City of Kwinana called Dress Up Your Bike/Scooter. It was a brilliant way to end Term 1 with many students actively coming to school with their friends and families. Local police officers attended as well as City of Kwinana staff to meet our Orelia community and to promote Your Move, Bikelink and the City of Kwinana services. Students were also able to get a photo from the very popular roaming photo booth.
