Walk Safely to School Day

Coinciding with National Road Safety Week is Walk Safely to School Day (WSTSD) on Friday 16 May. An initiative of Pedestrian Council of Australia, WSTSD is an annual event encouraging all primary school aged children and their families to walk safely to school. For more information about WSTSD, visit the Pedestrian Council of Australia website.

We have a number of helpful resources for schools and families to support safer walking. The Safety Town website offers a variety of interactive learning activities for students from Kindergarten to Year 6, teaching notes to support road safety education in the classroom and safety information for families. A series of road safety factsheets for families are also available on the Centre for Road Safety website or by ordering from our online catalogue.
