Your Move Schools Program

We are a member of the Your Move Schools program.

​

Your Move encourages students and their families to get active by walking, scooting and riding to school. Making a small behavioural change a few times a week can result in huge benefits for your child and the community, including:

• Reduced congestion, travel times and parking problems around schools;

• Improved safety for everyone at drop-off and pick-up times;

• Reduced carbon dioxide emissions around the school;

• Lifelong improved health and emotional well-being due to instilling positive exercise habits at a young age;

• Improved concentration and academic performance;

• More sustainable and cost-effective transport outcomes, such as reducing the need for investment in parking that may only be utilised for a short period each day, and reduced road infrastructure maintenance costs.

 

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. If you’re interested in volunteering to be part of our school’s Your Move program, get in touch SouthernGrove.PS@education.wa.edu.au

We sincerely appreciate your support of our involvement in Your Move and we hope you will consider walking, riding, scooting and public transport to get to and from school.
