- **Event Description**: Primary school children across Australia will take important steps towards a healthier future when National Walk Safely to School Day returns on Friday 22 May 2026.Now in its 27th year, the national initiative, championed by the Pedestrian Council of Australia, encourages children and families to build regular walking into their daily routine — not just on one day, but every day. The campaign highlights the health, road safety, transport and environmental benefits of active travel to and from school.Children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day, and walking before and after school is one of the simplest ways to help meet that target. Regular movement supports healthy growth, strong bones and muscles, improved cardiovascular fitness and overall wellbeing. Research also shows that active children demonstrate stronger concentration and cognitive performance, helping them arrive at school focused and ready to learn.Walk Safely to School Day also responds to a significant national health challenge, with around one in four Australian children affected by overweight or obesity. Encouraging simple daily habits like walking to school can help build lifelong healthy behaviours while reducing traffic congestion and improving safety around school gates.Safety remains central to the campaign, with parents and carers reminded that children under 10 must always hold the hand of an adult when crossing the road.Parents and carers are encouraged to speak with their school principal, teachers or P&C about participating in Walk Safely to School Day and incorporating walking activities on Friday 22 May. Schools are also encouraged to Host a Healthy Breakfast to reinforce the link between good nutrition and physical activity and to register for publicity to share their positive stories.WHAT: National Walk Safely to School DayWHEN: Friday 22 May 2026WHERE: Primary schools across AustraliaEncourage your school to get involved and register for publicity at: www.walk.com.au/WSTSD
