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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

This week the City’s Active Transport Team took some time out of their busy days to take a step back and plan priorities and activities for this new year 2025.
Starting with a reflection on the ‘status quo’, we brain-stormed the current challenges getting more people using more active transport methods. These were then grouped into four major areas: infrastructure, education / mindset, funding and data / research.
In a second step, we translated the challenges into areas of action.
From here it was easy to define SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) goals for each month.
We are excited about the year ahead and can’t wait to see many things happening within and beyond our beautiful LGA.
Last Friday the City’s Active Transport Team successfully submitted the application for the National Active Transport Fund to build a new shared path along Mirrabooka Avenue.
The proposed project includes replacing a 1,750m section of 2.0m to 2.5m wide concrete footpath, which in its current state is substandard for cycling, with a 3.0m wide red asphalt shared path.
Located along one of the Secondary Routes of Perth and Peel's Long Term Cycle Network (LTCN), the proposed path upgrade would create an important link in the cycling network between the Beach Road shared path and the Reid Highway Principal Shared Path (PSP), servicing two schools and a TAFE located along and adjacent to the route and providing a cycling connection into the Mirrabooka Activity Centre.
Only minor changes are required to update the final design for the path completed in 2022, for which the City had successfully secured co-funding from the WA Government through the Western Australian Bicycle Network Grants program.
During this initial design phase, the City actively engaged the community by posting project notifications on its website and social media, and conducting a community survey. An impressive 94% of respondents were in favour of the modifications to be made to the existing pathway.
It would be a great privilege for the City to be able to deliver this infrastructure to the community.
Late last year APS took part in an interview with a YourMove representative to collect data from schools about their experience with YourMove. The interview questions provided a good opportunity to reflect on the work we have done, the achievements we have made and the impact this has had on our students lives.
I found it very reaffirming of how good it is to be involved with the YourMove program is and how significant it's impact can be on the health and wellbeing of our students, both physical and mental.
