  Feet First

  Feet First encourages primary school students to walk to school with a caregiver, friend, or organised walking group at least once a week, every week, during term time.

  Feet First also provides curriculum content for teachers to talk about walking in relation to safety, exploring, creativity, and saving the planet.

  The Feet First project is a quiet one that works with, and beside, other projects including those already established in walking or cycling, projects which support the lowering of congestion around school locations, and health and physical wellbeing.
