Recently Noranda Primary School started a Road Safety Community to address the parking and traffic issues around the school at drop off and pick up times. A suggestion was made to encourage more walking and cycling to school, to help reduce the amount of cars. The school decided to join Your Move to help make this happen. One student has written a letter encouraging kids to join a committee to help spread the word and make a difference to the congestion problem. Please see the letter attached. We will be back in touch with an update once we have formed the committee and had our first meeting.

Dear Parent/Guardians
This term we would like to introduce Your Move to the school. Your Move is a program about walking and riding to school. We will be building a student team to run the program. Thanks to Carol-Ann and Mrs Edwards for making this happen.
There is a Your Move Website where the team writes stories on their school page and our earns points with which we can buy lots of products with such as Slap bands, stickers, Bike bells and more.
We are introducing Your Move to the school because lately we have had a lot of people driving and that’s not doing anything to help climate change. We encourage people to park at Deschamp Reserve and walk from there if you live too far away.
If your child is interested in making a difference please get them to sign up to be a committee member.
