The next theme is the travel flag. The aim of the
travel flag is to encourage pupils, teachers and parents to travel to school in
a green way such as cycling, scooting or walking. If a car has to be used then
maybe you could car pool or park and stride.
Carpooling means travelling with other people who
are not in your family such as friends, neighbours from the same estate or
relations.
If you live far away maybe you could drive to a certain
place like the Church, Centra or Tesco and then walk the rest of the way. This
is called Park and Stride. It cuts down on traffic around our school in the
morning.
We have a brand new committee elected this year
and everyone is very enthusiastic and looking forward to putting lots of
actions in place to encourage us all to leave the cars at home!! The travel
officer that has been appointed to help us with this theme is Karen Moore. She
visited the school in October and conducted a fantastic workshop with the
committee. This has definitely helped us as we work on our Action Plan. We have
decided upon some short, medium and long-term goals. Check back really soon
when a copy of this Action Plan will be available to view.
In the meantime don’t forget that :
