Kerang Christian College has been
announced as a first time participant winner for the North West region.
All 57 Kerang Christian College students
(100%) participated by walking, riding, skating or scooting to or from school
during October and marking their activity on the VicHealth Walk to School
classroom calendars. Total student participation across the month was 78.2%.
Walks totalled 1784 and based on the average walking distance that’s 1281 kms –
equivalent of walking from Kerang to Canberra and almost home again!
The school’s prize is free tickets to the Melbourne Stars
practice match on 15 December 2015.
Well done to Kerang Christian College
and the other ten local primary schools who participated.
All up Gannawarra students walked 16,237 times as part of
October’s Walk to School program and based on the average walking distance this
equates to 11,658 kilometres – that’s almost a circuit around Australia!
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, with support from the Southern
Mallee Primary Care Partnership.
Walk to School is a VicHealth initiative. For more information go to: www.walktoschool.vic.gov.au.
