Primary school-aged children across Australia will step towards a healthier futureย next monthย on National Walk Safely to School Day, Friday 22 May 2026.ย
Now in its 27th year, the initiative led by the Pedestrian Council of Australia highlights the health, safety, transport and environmental benefits of walking or using active travel to get to and from school – not just onย Walk Safely to School Day, but every day.ย ย ย
The dayย encourages positive environmental action, better use of public transport with reduced car-dependency,ย and encourages parents and carers to walk more, reducing dangerous traffic congestion around schools.ย
Schools and P&Cs are encouraged to Host a Healthy Breakfastย on the day, withย schools able to win one of 28 xย $250ย foodย vouchers thanks to Woolworths by registering for publicity to share their local stories: https://www.walk.com.au/wstsd/
