Step: 1

Discover how your school moves

Once you’ve signed up to the program a good way to get started is to use our quick and easy 'Hands up' travel survey to find out how your students currently get to school. The survey results are a great way to track your progress and promote your achievements to the whole school community.

Step: 2

Grow your team

Once you’ve signed up, share the fun by getting others in your school community involved. Students love the opportunity to run their own activities, post stories and earn points for their efforts. A parent, teacher, school deputy and a group of student leaders make a winning combination to lead activities. 

Step: 3

Choose your activities

Use our new ‘Activity Planner’ to set goals, identify things you want to achieve and the steps you need to take to get there. Select from our tried and tested classroom activities and lesson plans mapped to the WA curriculum. We also have other activity ideas like event days and competitions to help get your students moving. 

Step: 4

Share your stories and earn points

Tell everyone about what you've been up to and earn points for your school, which can then be redeemed for items in our rewards shop. Get inspiration and new ideas from what other schools have been doing.

Step: 5

Spend your points on rewards

Use your points to order items in our online rewards shop, specifically chosen to support active travel. Rewards include leadership team t-shirts, bike and scooter racks, bike education sessions and fun incentives for your students. 

Step: 6

Keep the momentum going!

Use your rewards to build momentum and unlock access to a ‘Connecting Schools Grant’, which can be used for big ticket items like bike racks, bike shelters and to run bike education sessions at your school.

The City was working together with Event Bike Rack Hire to add some additional temporary event bike parking north and south of the Scarborough Beach amphitheatre to cater for the additional demand expected due to the Carols event last Sunday.

This was advertised on Facebook within a post encouraging all attendees to plan their journey.

Based on the pictures taken before and after the event it can be assumed that the additional parking was well received and utilised.

Working together with our event team and the event organisers, the City will now investigate existing bike parking options and provision of temporary event bike parking or additional permanent bike parking for other regular event venues.

I would like to take this opportunity and introduce Nick, our new team member in Active Transport.

Driven by his passion for cycling, Nick started to study Urban Planning and left his FIFO work as a mine surveyor to help implementing active transport infrastructure here at the City of Stirling.

Welcome to the team!

I would love to share the following email with you as a reminder that what we do goes far beyond providing bikes and infrastructure. 

This was sent from a colleague who is regularly booking one of our staff E-bikes to all BU Challenge participants as a reply to my email announcing the winners:

 

"The active transport month was a great initiative for me to add cycling as my weekend activity as I could trial the City’s e-bikes as well. Thanks to the City.

 

As we had a shortage of 1 bike in our family, borrowing a bike from the office has opened a new chapter of joyful weekends for my family and along with one of my family friends. Every Sunday morning, we gear up for a refreshing ride to a destination which is usually a nearby lake or playground or one of the City’s Sunday events or combining a bit of exercise (tennis, enjoying the free access), and the simple pleasure of exploring nearby parks and reserves. So far, we have been to Lake Gwelup, Jackadder Lake, Lake Monger and couple more within this 2 month. Otherwise, my family would have barely got any occasion to explore our beautiful reserves.

 

We start early morning, before the road gets busier, riding together, we share stories, laugh, and soak in the calmness of the streets. The cool breeze against our faces set a relaxing tone for the day ahead. We carry traditional breakfast along and these meals, shared over conversations and the shared accomplishment of the ride, taste even better after the ride.

 

These weekend rides are more than just a fun outing, it’s a way to reconnect in today’s busy world. It’s become a cherished ritual that strengthens our bond as a family, promotes a healthier lifestyle, and creates memories that we’ll hold onto forever. So, we always look forward for the Sunday morning. This Sunday we hoping to ride to family funday at Terry Tyzak.

 

Have a great day

Namaste 🙏
