Travelwise Schools Programme
The Travelwise Schools Programme has been supporting Auckland schools since 2005. Our vision? To provide a trusted programme that empowers schools to embed safe, sustainable and active travel into their school culture.
About the Travelwise Schools Programme
Learn how the Travelwise Schools programme promotes safe, active, sustainable travel, helps reduce cars on the school run and eases congestion at the school gate.
Road Safety
Teaching students essential road skills helps them travel to school safely and confidently, and encourages the whole school community to take greater care.
WoW - Walking or Wheeling
Walking and wheeling helps students travel safely and confidently while building an active travel culture across the school community.
Leadership
Shared leadership across the school community helps champion Travelwise initiatives, empower students to drive change, and encourage safer, smarter active travel choices.
Sustainability
Curriculum-linked units help students develop healthy, sustainable travel habits that support health and wellbeing, benefit the environment, and extend into their communities over time.
Community
Working collectively with schools, parents and whānau, the police and local networks helps build shared responsibility for safe, sustainable active travel and strengthen community connection.
