With the warmer weather here, it’s the perfect time for families to embrace walking to school.
To support this, Mansfield Shire Council is distributing updated Walk to School Maps to children via their schools.
These colourful, easy-to-follow maps are part of the Active Footpaths initiative and highlight the safest and most accessible routes to school within the township.
Parents and carers are encouraged to check their child’s school bag this week, sit down together to review the best walking route and start building healthy, active habits as a part of their daily routine.
To celebrate the new maps and Children’s Week 2025, families are invited to join a fun, free community walk on Thursday 23 October, starting at Mansfield Primary School at 11am and finishing at Botanical Park.

Let’s walk together to celebrate Children’s Week and build a healthier, safer and more connected community.
