Ride2School Cohuna Consolidated School

Students from Cohuna Consolidated Primary School tucked into a healthy breakfast on arrival to school Friday morning as part of National Ride2School Day.

National Ride2School Day supports schools across Australia to promote a healthy school community where students are encouraged to actively travel to school all year round.

Cohuna Consolidated students joined more than 350,000 other students from across Australia who rode, walked, scooted or skated to school as part of the nationwide celebration of active transport.

Cr. Lorraine Learmonth helped serve the breakfast and enjoyed time talking with students, teachers and families. Council provided a crunchy apple for students to enjoy as part of Ride2School Day.

A crazy hair theme added to the event which saw 70% of students actively travel to school on the day. Twenty one students rode to school, eleven scooted and eighty walked. A fantastic effort.

In Victoria Ride2School day is coordinated by Bicycle Network Victoria with support and funding from the state government.

Participation in National Ride2School Day is part of Gannawarra Shire Council’s healthy lifestyles priority area and strengthens and promotes a partnership approach to address health and wellbeing issues at a local level.
