A huge congratulations to Emily G, Lachlan R, WIlliam S, Ava G, Kai R, Stella H and Lucas S who competed yesterday at the ACT Swimming Championships. You all did exceptionally well and the community at Sts Peter and Paul are so proud of you! Some personal bests were achieved and ribbons are soon to be awarded.

I am still waiting for confirmation from School Sports ACT on information to send home to those who have qualified in their age bracket. Once I have this information, a permission note will go home to you via Compass. Thank you in advance for your understanding with this.

National Walk Safely to School Day

Walk Safely to School Day asks that we all consider our transport habits and try to incorporate more walking as part of a healthy, active way to get around. And although walking all the way to school isn’t realistic for many of us, it’s quite easy to figure out how you can build a walk into your family’s daily routine.

You can teach your child the healthy habit of walking more by:

• Walking with them the whole way to school
• If they get the bus or train, walk past your usual stop and get on at the next stop
• If you have to drive, park the car a few blocks away from the school and walk the rest of the way.

Regular exercise like walking with your child not only helps them (and you!) beat chronic problems like obesity, heart disease, behavioural and mental health issues and diabetes. It also gives you a great opportunity to teach your child safe ways to behave around roads and traffic.

Remember, Active Kids are Healthy Kids so get planning your own Walk Safely to School Day journey for Friday 19th May 2023!
