Dear parents, families and Scarborough Primary School community
We have fantastic news to share! Scarborough primary school has WON, yes that’s correct we are the WINNERS of this year’s “Your Move” getting as many parents as possible to sign up competition. So, a BIG thank you to our community of parents who signed up to Your Move during March 2021. We are super proud! Also, thank you to all our teachers and staff for supporting this great program.
The final result kept us at the top of the leader board with 56% of families signed up! CONGRATULATIONS!! We cannot do this without our wonderful parents and families’ support!! For parents who wish to join the program, it is not too late. Every bit we do for Your Move helps us to earn valuable points to receive rewards for our school.
As the winners of this competition, our school has been rewarded up to $3,500 worth of much needed active transport equipment for our bikes and scooters: We are in the process of ordering what will best suit our growing school.
Stay tuned, we have many activities and events happening this term to help us earn points:
- Our first Your Move official assembly will be held in term 2 (with a special guest).
- Active travel days to start this term starting in Week 2. The two active travel days is set for a Tuesday and Thursday. On these two days, travel to school by walking, scootering or cycling. We will be collecting the data each week. As winter approaches, we know it will be harder, but let’s try keep active on these two days!
- National Road Safety Week starts on Monday 17 May to 21 Friday May 2021. Look out for activities carried out through the school or within your child’s class.
- RAC Bike Education sponsored by YOUR MOVE is coming to SPS to instruct and educate our students on active travel using bikes for our Year 4s, 5s and 6s). This is once a week on a Monday over a 4-week period. Children will need their own bikes and helmets. Starts Monday Week 3 to Monday Week 6.
- Your Move team will be holding a SURPRISE hands up survey during this term to gauge how active our students are travelling to and from school. So, it is best to stay active every day if possible, to earn points for our school. We understand that parents have to drive to school. So, why not park at Deanmore Square park then walk the 200 metres to the gate. This counts as a “park and walk”. You will be counted!
- We will be sending out a PARENT’s SURVEY this term. We greatly value the opinions and support of our community and want to hear from you. Together with the P&C, some prizes will be allocated. Please watch this space for more details and the link.
- In addition to the Parent Survey, we will be placing a YOUR MOVE suggestion box in the office, if you have any ideas that may help our school earn points, or if you wish to provide or sponsor prizes for our school, be more actively involved or additional activities or events we can earn points, we want to hear from you. Please complete the post it note and place it inside the suggestion box.
Once again, congratulations to our school as the winners of this great competition.
Our school currently has 564 reward points and is sitting on silver. We look forward to another term of earning points for our school.
Thank you, stay active!
