Schools Hands Up! Results
Hands Up! active travel surveys are done each month. Each class records the number of students who walked, rode or were driven to school that morning. Regular monitoring has been shown to hasten behaviour change, because it helps maintain the focus on continual improvement. Teachers have told us that students enjoy the process of being surveyed. Registered schools recieve a unique identity and password allowing them to log into the Hands Up! system.
A total of 9,034 students were surveyed in June's Hands Up! survey. A total of 37 schools in NSW entered data and will all be receiving certificates to highlight their commitment to get more students more active more often! Here are some highlights from the data:
The three schools with the lowest percentage of car use are Cooma Public School (9.4), Turramurra North Public School (15.8) and King Street School (16.7) – well done!
Blue Gum School, Grahamstown Public School, Main Arm Upper Public School, Mount Riverview Public School, Windeyer Public School, St Micheals Nowra and Ulladulla Public School all had significant increases in the percentage of active students on the previous data – congratulations!

The schools with the greatest percentage of walkers are Grahamstown Public School, Warilla High School and Marks Point Public School
The schools with the greatest percentage of riders are King Street School, Turramurra North Public School and Windeyer Public School
