| Walking School Bus | |
Current initiatives in health promotion at Nillumbik include the development of a Walking School Bus Program. The Walking School Bus is not a vehicle; it provides primary school students with safe supervision while walking to school in a group. This has the benefits of providing children with regular exercise and a grasp of road safety skills, as well as being good for the environment by reducing car travel and traffic congestion around schools. It also encourages children to socialise and make new friends. For a list of participating schools and contact details, contact Lindsay Round, Coordinator Youth Services, on (03) 9433 3150.
