Inverloch children stay active

INVERLOCH-KONGWAK Primary School is committed to the health of its students.

October will be walk to school month, with students from all year levels encouraged to get involved.

“The students will be asked to walk, ride or scoot to school every day for the month to promote an active lifestyle,” principal Wendy Caple said.

“Parents of students who live too far away are encouraged to drop their children off at a distance from school so they can walk the rest of the way.”

Walk to school month is a VicHealth initiative to kick start active and healthy habits in Victorian children.

Walking to school every day can help children achieve the recommended 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity a day, particularly as the weather starts to warm up.

Part of Inverloch’s culture is to be active, healthy and energetic, and the school is eager to encourage its children to follow a healthy lifestyle into adulthood.

The school was one of the first schools to sign up to the initiative this year.
