We’ll be celebrating an entire week of walking and wheeling to school from Monday 13 to Friday 17 October 2025. Each day will have a different theme, with competitions and prizes to reward those who actively travel to school.
Whether you join us for one day or the whole week, we’d love to have you walking and wheeling with us. Make sure your school registers early to stay up to speed with what’s happening and to find out about incredible prizes you could win. More details to come!
Here are our themes for the year:
Move It Monday - Blast off the week with an active adventure! Walk, wheel, skip, or scoot your way to school and start the week with an active commute!
Travel Together Tuesday - Celebrate by walking and wheeling to school with friends and whanau.
Wacky Wednesday - Wear something bright! Look bright, be bright, stay bright!
Thoughtful Thursday - Help the planet. Active travel supports a healthier environment. What else can you do to help?

Funky Feet Friday - It’s time to dress up those feet. Decorate your shoes, wear something wild, or strut in your silliest socks. Glitter, feathers, gumboots, anything goes!
