Dear Parents/Guardians,

With the weather now becoming milder we are encouraging you to engage in active travel when dropping off and collecting your children from school.  Active travel is an important part of both the Active School and Green Schools programmes.  Active travel involves physically active and environmentally friendly ways of travelling to and from school.  It is suggested that you walk, cycle, car pool and park &stride when making your journey to and from St. Mochulla’s.

We also hope to revive the Walk on Wednesday (WOW) initiative.  This is where we especially encourage you to use an active travel method on a Wednesday and an active travel survey of each class will be taken.  There will also be rewards from the Road Safety Authority handed out as spot prizes to a lucky few who are spotted arriving to school in an active way on Wednesday mornings. 

It is important to prioritise road safety when engaging in active travel.  Ensure your child is following the road safety rules and is wearing their high visibilty vest.  It is also essential that children are wearing helmets and protective gear if cyclying to school.        

Kind regards,

The Active School and Green Schools committee
