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.

Just testing once again to see if we tick over the required accreditation & receive an auto email.

Hopefully we see:

  • Dashboard accreditation updated
  • receive an auto email with Bronze badge
  • Hopefully these dot points work?

An all of staff survey on active travel was carried out at Geraldton Health Campus. To improve response rate, we linked completion of the survey with a voucher generously donated by a local bike shop. This seemed to work well as we had 180 respondents!

The survey was based on the Your Move survey template but customised to suit our site, and additional information added to get a baseline measure.


The survey focused on:

  • The type of transport staff typically use to travel to work
  • The reasons they use this mode of transport
  • The number of days that staff utilise active travel
  • Their view on the current active travel facilities
  • Their attitude regarding changing their mode of travel, and what would influence this decision
  • Their knowledge of how to book a pool bike or rideshare.

A last-minute addition, to include a section to gather names of staff wishing to be involved in any active transport initiatives proved very helpful in hindsight.


The survey revealed:

  • 77% of staff surveyed currently use a car to travel to work most of the time.
  • The reason for using a car was mainly due to time, requirement for travel to appointments, carrying of other people, and living too far away.
  • 40% of respondents stated they would be interested in changing to use an active mode of transport. The main motivator for this was for health reasons.
  • Only 28% of people knew how to book a pool bike.
  • Only 44% of staff knew how to share a ride when driving a work car.


The survey will be repeated in 2025, to gauge how successful we have been in improving active travel, and staff knowledge.
