Your Move Awards 2022 Winners

See the Your Move Award winners from 2022 below. Please note that some of the categories have slightly changed for the 2024 awards. 


School Achieve Award: Scarborough Primary School

Scarborough Primary School was awarded the School Achieve Award in 2022. The school achieved top leadership positions and double platinum accreditation status two years in a row. The school also implemented active travel days on Tuesdays and Thursdays, held national active travel events as well as ‘Father’s Day Fuel Free Friday’ and ‘Christmas dress up your ride event’. The school also delivered bike education annually, promoted Your Move through various channels and demonstrated strong school community commitment to the program. 


School Innovate Award: Albany Primary School

Albany Primary School was awarded the School Innovate Award for the development of a mountain bike trail at their school, and associated bike activities. The bike trail was funded by a Your Move Connecting Schools Grant and local donations, and was constructed with tremendous assistance from local businesses, organisations and members of the community who pitched in their time and services. The school held a grand opening event to promote the trail and thank those who contributed to construction. Following the trail’s construction, students were informed the bike track would be opened at random lunch times, which motivated students to ride their bikes to school as often as possible. The school saw an immediate increase in the number of bikes parked at the school and a new social scene generated because of the trail.  


Champion – School Team: Albany Primary School 

Albany Primary School’s Your Move team, made up of 6-8 Year 5 students each semester, were awarded the Champion – School Team Award in 2022. The team served as role models in active transport and played a school leadership role. They met with the P&C Sustainability Committee, conduct Hands Up Surveys, presented at assemblies, assisted the PE teacher to collate resulted from active transport challenges, wrote newsletter articles, and supported events like ‘Ride and Walk to School’ days.
