The Government of South Australia’s Active School Travel program Way2Go is joining in Walktober SA by supporting more families and children to walk to school.
Way2Go Walktober, from October 15 to 31, is a chance to practice new habits. Walk to school with your children – just once a week will make a difference:
- try once a week and build up
- take turns with other families to walk with kids and make it fun
- mix it up by riding a bike or scooter (You all can ride on the footpath)
Too far to walk the whole way? Park the car nearby and walk part of the way to school.

We know that using active travel to get to school is good for children’s physical health, as well as their growing brains, bones, muscles and imaginations!
Here at Walking SA we’re keen to see more children walking and cycling safely to school. View our Position Statement.
Throughout October we’re celebrating walking with WalktoberSA.
