St Bernie's are excited to join 'Your Move'

Hello my name is Kristy Watson and I am our St Bernadette's Primary School Your Move champion. I am very excited to join the 'Your Move' program and can't wait to begin promoting positive, safe and healthy messages and events (with the help of our teachers and sports leaders) to the entire school this term. Our first 'Your Move' event includes preparing and pinning up posters around the school, such as this one seen in this story, advertising on our school facebook page and letting the wider community know in our newsletter all about our Walk Safely to school initiative on Friday 17th May. If our students walk to school on 17 May they will receive a free delicious red or green apple as a yummy breakfast treat as they arrive at school. We hope to give out as many apples as possible and speak with our crosswalk attendant in providing stamps to students who use the crosswalk and not the middle of the road opposite our school. Students using the crosswalk will be given an additional reward (stickers) as we need to try new preventative techniques in this area. I am looking forward to regularly reading all of your stories and especially excited about the lead up to our first event. Stay tuned - as I will be updating you all on how our Walk to School day goes, hopefully the rain holds off or it will turn into a raincoat and gumboots walk to school day :)
