Taking in the heritage points of interest along Victoria, Wellington, Fitzroy, Scoresby and Albert streets, the walk highlighted the history of Kerang.
Yummy fruit and vegetable platters and glasses of cold milk finished off the walk before the children headed back to class for a day of learning.
Walk your way to wellbeing - get to know your community, meet other people, take in some fresh air, and improve your health by walking everyday!
The Walk to School program promotes the importance of children being active and healthy in their communities and fitting at least 60 minutes of physical activity into their daily lives. Getting actively to school, the school bus, or while at school not only helps keep children fit and healthy, it also helps them to stay alert, to concentrate and improves learning outcomes.
The Gannawarra VicHealth Walk to School program is rolled out across the Gannawarra Shire as a Gannawarra Local Agency Meeting (GLAM) partnership project. This is a partnership between Gannawarra Shire Council, Northern District Community Health, Kerang District Health, Cohuna District Hospital, Mallee District Aboriginal Service, Victoria Police, Mallee Family Care, with support from the Southern Mallee Primary Care Partnership.
