During week beginning 5th May 2015 “Free your Feet” a week long whole school event which encourages all S1-S3 pupils to make walking part of his/her mode of transport to and from school will take place.
All pupils are encouraged to take part and can do so by:
walking the whole way to and from school.
walking to and from the bus stop.
walking from the drop off point in the car park at Broom shops.
If every pupil participates in some way we hope that together we will:
raise awareness of the health benefits of regular exercise as part every day life.
reduce traffic congestion and increase pupil safety.
make a contribution to improving the environment by reducing pollution.
What is going to happen?
Friday the 1st of May 2015 – you will be given a card to record the number of minutes you walk each day of the week to and from school.
Friday the 8th of May 2015 – get a parent/ guardian to check and sign your card.
Monday 11th May 2015 – post your completed and signed card in your House Box at the main entrance.
What happens then?
10 House points will be awarded for every completed card.
