Mayor and PE/Health teacher Lana Formoso said the aim was to get “our youngest residents” more active.
“By walking, cycling or scooting to school you help get your body and brain moving for the day ahead.
“Physical activity is not just good for the body, but it also supports concentration in the classroom and improved learning outcomes.”
The Get Active Get Moving campaign was developed in consultation with the students from the Children’s Advisory Group and the Children’s Forum in 2022.
These students helped with the design of the logo and slogan.
School registrations close Tuesday 5 March.
