UMG is now part of the Brisbane City Council Active School Travel program.
Active School Travel is one of the easiest ways to incorporate physical activity into everyday life for all children. Research shows only 23% of Australian children are active for the recommended minimum of one hour every day.
We know that everyone is different, so there are many ways you can actively travel to school. How will you actively travel?
Walk : Leave the car at home and walk your kids to school. If you live too far away, drive part of the way and walk the rest. We call that 'Park and Stride'.
Cycle : Ride with your children to school. It is legal to ride on the footpath and remember to always have your helmet secured.
Public Transport : Catching public transport is easy once you know how. For bus, train and ferry timetables, visit www.translink.com.au
Car Pool : Find a friend and car pool to school. It is an easy way to save time in your day and money. Talk to other parents in your child's class or at music and sport to see who is going your way.
