Island Bay SchoolMovin' March!
Updated: Feb 28
We’re a Movin’March school and counting down to Tuesday 1 March when we’ll start stamping passports in class as part of the Walk or Wheel Passport Challenge all through March. Walking or wheeling to school is a great way to get active, know your neighbourhood, kick start learning for the day AND take care of the environment. Remember students don’t have to complete their passports to go in the draw to win a $400 MYRIDE voucher at the end of March! Fancy going in the draw to win a scooter? Parents who take part in our Whānau Facebook competition will be in to win 1 of 5 adult or child Micro Scooters or a Family Pass to Staglands or Zealandia. Check out the Movin’March website for more on these competitions and how you can take part.
Park & Stride
If you live ‘too far away’ why not try a Park and Stride? You can still get your passport stamped in class! It helps reduce congestion around the school gate and gives tamariki exercise.
Ideas for all the Whānau:
Check our Walk and Wheel Safety page for guidelines for whānau to safely walk or wheel to school
Have a chuckle while you learn all about scooter safety with our scooter safety videos featuring the cast of TV show Wellington Paranormal
Micro Scooters are not only awesome sponsors for Movin’March, they also have awesome safety tips or check out Waka Kotahi’s comprehensive Education Portal
