Celebrating Champions!
Register for Movin’March 2012 NOW!
March 26-30 we’re celebrating our region’s safe and sustainable travel champions – all the children who walk, wheel and bus to and from school! Movin’March 2012 is all about students gaining the skills they need to keep safe when walking and cycling to school - and celebrating their journeys!
The 2012 Movin’March has options to better support student learning and fit in with your school’s needs. There are resources for a one day event, a whole week of activities, or a term long focus on road safety and sustainable travel.
In this guide you’ll find fun ideas for events, information about the Movin’March Champion Challenge and curriculum resources to help you plan a unit around safe and sustainable travel.
Teachers can join the fun too by taking part in the Super Staff Strut competition. All participating schools go in a draw for a Homemedics Shiatsu massaging chair cushion. Imagine having that in your staff room?
World mountain and stair running champion Melissa Moon and Olympian Robyn Wong have joined Movin’March in 2012 to offer young walking and wheeling stars some tips to help keep them safe on their journeys. These women know a thing or two about working hard to develop the skills needed to become champions!
You don’t have to be a world class athlete to be a champion in Movin’March. The Movin’March Champion Challenge gives students and parents a simple safety skills checklist to complete together at home. Students who return at least one of the checklists completed “qualify” as Movin’March Champions!
