Lalor North pupils take a walk on the well side

Lalor North Primary School students will use any means possible to get to school without a car for Walk Safely to School Day this week.

The May 24 event encourages students to lead a healthier lifestyle by getting to school by bike, scooter, roller blades or on foot.

Lalor North students will combine the national Walk Safely to School Day with a monthly survey they fill out that tracks their transport to school.

PE teacher Sandy Pate said the school tried to encourage healthy methods of getting to school, as well as traffic safety.

For the first time, parents and students will be able to track their kilometres using the Walk Safely to School Day App.
