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.

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.

Throughout December 2024, I collaborated with our Organisational Development team to create an intranet page for staff where they can access all things Active Transport.
I included as much information as I could, trying to find a balance between informative and concise - didn't want things too wordy!
I also included helpful links and resources, pictures from previous events in a rolling display, details for upcoming events, How-To guides to booking staff bikes and SmartRiders - and lots more!
The page went live today and I made a post on the staff intranet news site directing staff to the new page.
Looking forward to adding relevant content to this page along with new initiatives and events for staff to enjoy. It wasn't too challenging to create and hopefully it has a wide and positive impact on the City of Joondalup staff.

In their Maths class, Year 3 students kept track of the number of bikes each day during Term 4 and calculated the average number of riders per week. They then created column graphs to showcase this data and discussed their findings in groups. It was revealed that Term 4 had a high number of riders at Bramfield Park Primary School. The students noted that Week 1 saw many riders due to Bike Month activities, and Weeks 3-6 had increased numbers as Year 4 students participated in Bike Education Sessions. It was encouraging to see a strong turnout of riders continuing until the end of the term.
