Warrnambool Primary

As Warrnambool’s largest primary education provider, Warrnambool Primary School occupies a unique location in the city’s geography and its history, having operated since August 1 1876.

Programs focused on encouraging travel to school by foot, bike or scooter has had a noteable impact on how the school’s population arrives and departs each day – five years ago, a large proportion of Warrnambool Primary School’s pupils were dropped at its gates by parents or guardians driving cars and the majority of staff also made their way to work on wheels.

Today, up to 30% of the school’s community will opt for walking or riding to school, particularly in response to focus days organised to highlight the positive impacts of sustainable travel and health and wellbeing.

Walking to/from school 

You can jump on board any where along the route, which you can print off! Parents welcome.

Pupils are well-educated about the environmental benefits of initiatives such as the Walking Bus, eg: it results in less cars on the road, increases road safety and traffic awareness and is a healthy way to get to school each day.

Our Smart Goal is to increase the number of people walking and cycling to school so there are less cars at the front. We will run a Walk/Ride to school day once a month.
