This time of the year is a great time to walk or ride to school (all or part of the way) hence this October the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure’s Way2Go program, Walking SA and the Heart Foundation are promoting active travel for school journeys. Not only is it fun but it means less cars on our roads, and at school drop-off points.

 To encourage students to walk to and from school during October, Walking SA are running a photo competition where families can enter to win prizes.   https://www.walkingsa.org.au/news/walktobersa2019-competition-2-of-2-school-kids-walk-to-school/

Competition Details:

School kids/families: Take a photo of something you love or find interesting as you walk to or from school.

Use the hashtags #walktoberSA and #way2go to enter the competition for a chance to win a weekly prize (parents/family adults will need to post the photo to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter).

Thanks to Scout Outdoor Centre there are two $50 vouchers up for grabs for each school week.
