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.  

​

What are the Travelwise initiatives at Waitakere: 

• Two daily bus routes

• Kiss, drop and drive zone located on Anzac valley road

• Active walking school bus routes

• Park and Walk from Waitakere train station

• Student leadership groups - Travelwise leaders, Bus monitors, Walking monitors and Road patrols

• Travelwise programmes are integrated into learning in all areas of the school

• Close partnership working with Auckland transport

​

Walking school bus: 

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.
