Join a Walking School Bus!
Keen to make school drop off/pick up easier and stress free?
Meet other local parents and get some fresh air and exercise?
Have your kids arrive to school energised and ready to start their days learning?
A walking school bus is a group of children who walk together to/from school with parent supervisors along a set route. Parents take turns and shouldn’t need to walk more than one day a week. The other 4 days are free.
Albany School have two new routes running, come and give it a try!

Five W’s Poem by Josh P.
The Albany School boy
Excitedly biked to school
To beat the 8:30 bell
On Albany cycleway
To play with his friends happily
