How the school program works
Grow an active community at your school and help inspire healthy travel habits. Our travel behaviour change experts will help you to support more students and their families walking, wheeling and riding for the school journey, tackle traffic issues and help provide practical ways to teach and develop sustainability at your school. Read the steps below to get a better understanding of how this award winning program works.
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.

During the school holidays, I had a one-on-one induction phone call from James from Department of Transport. James was helpful and informative and assisted me in getting acquainted with the Your Move website. I now feel more confident navigating around the Your Move website and know that if our school has any questions regarding Your Move, we can find the answers online or via James and his team, offering on-going support.
A really useful tip was using the term planner. We've now started to map out what term 4 looks like for us and some goals.

It was a pleasure to provide feedback to Emma about Your Move and to talk to someone about how fabulous the program is. There are certainly challenges in the secondary school setting, but the program is so good. Emma and I spoke for over an hour back in October, online, about factors promoting engagement, barriers, further support, motivation and what works and doesn't work. It was good to take the time to reflect on our achievements.

Yesterday, our Year 8 Student Councillors had their first meeting to discuss Your Move and some activities to promote active travel to school. They attended Homeroom classes to conduct the 'Hands Up Survey' and provide students with Your Move maps, offering the most popular routes to take to Southern River College. With 69 students participating in the survey, results indicated that 7.2% of students rode to school (via bike, scooter, or skateboard), 18.8% caught the bus or train, 21.7% walked to school, and 52.2% of students came to school in a car.
It was great to see the enthusiasm and leadership from our student councillors, and the other students getting involved in the activity.
