What an awesome morning celebrating National Walk Safely to School Day with the St Thomas the Apostle Primary School students!
We were lucky enough to share the day with Joy Burch MLA and Chris Steel MLA who presented the school with a set of Active Travel Maps provided by Transport Canberra to encourage riding or walking to School!
There were a few special guests in Brumby Jack and Constable Kenny Koala. The students loved finishing their walk with the fresh fruit provided by Fyshwick Fresh Food Market
We hope everyone enjoyed walking safely to school this morning!
