School events & resources
There are lots of great ways to promote active and sustainable travel in your school. Here you will find events, ideas, activities and resources to help you:
Movin'Mail is the the Wellington Region's School Travel Plan Programme e-news where schools can find useful tips and resources for encouraging children to use safe and sustainable travel to and from school.
Greater Wellington staff work with our road safety partners to establish a culture of safe and active transport for the journey to school.
If you are looking for resources to help promote road safety at your school, check out our School Road Safety page.
From the 26-30 March 2012 students will celebrate young walkers, cyclists, scooter riders and skateboarders for their contribution to the region’s environmental and physical wellbeing.
Choose your own way to celebrate Movin’March. Focus on active travel in whatever way suits your school – walk, cycle, scoot, skate, have a theme day, dress-up, write a story, do a survey, there are endless possibilities.
If you’re looking for a way to encourage long term active travel at your school then a Walk & Wheel promotion could be a good place to start. It’s easy to run and you can adapt it to your school's needs. We've developed some great resources to help you with your promotion.
