Travelwise
We are a Gold Travelwise School - Awarded in November 2019.
Travelwise is an ongoing programme at Waitakere aiming to decrease congestion at the school gate and therefore improve the safety for all students.
The benefits of Walking to School:
Students are given the opportunity to develop road safety skills
Reducing car trips to school
Students have fun wlaking and get fit while socialising with their friends.

-
Two daily bus routes
-
Kiss, drop and drive zone located on Anzac valley road
-
Active walking school bus routes

Can you volunteer to walk once a week? We always need more adult walkers to help support the walking school bus. Please leave your name and contact details at the school office if you can help.
