Do you remember going on adventures as a child and walking to school?
Over the past 40 years children’s walking and riding to school has declined from 75% to 25%, today some experts suggest it may be as little as 15%!!
Check out our video to see how Park IT is forging new active pathways for our children >>>
What is Park IT?
Park IT is a walk to school initiative for Victorian Primary Schools, supported by Local Government, to provide car-dependent families with new drop-off / pick-up points within 1km from the school gate, alongside a new child-friendly pathway …co-created by students!
TOP 3 IMPACTS for Park IT Schools (as evaluated by La Trobe University)
❝ Outdoors Victoria was amazing. Absolutely incredible with communication, preparing for meetings, organisation behind the scenes. It made the process extremely smooth. ❞
– School Leader, Sunbury Heights Primary
❝ Everything was just staged incredibly well. Artists for Kids Culture’s artsbus came in and coordinated the arts workshops so effectively across 150 students. The kids were engaged. And what’s better than that, is the kids then saw their artwork come to fruition on our new Park IT pathway. ❞
– School Leader, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Primary (Sunbury)
