Ochiltree Primary School will be joining in with the 15th year celebration of the UK’s biggest inter-school walking, wheeling, scooting and cycling to school competition.
What is Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel?
Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel inspires pupils to make active journeys to school, improve air quality in their neighbourhood and discover how these changes benefit their world.
On each day of the challenge, schools compete to see who can get the highest percentage of their pupils walking, using a wheelchair, scooting or cycling to school.
The school’s best five days will determine our final position.
Join us by walking or rolling to school and let’s see how many active journeys our pupils can make?
The next meeting of the Parent Council is being held on Wednesday 6th March, 7pm, Ochiltree Church Hall.
