Transport

We are all dependent on a range of transport methods and our choices in this area have a direct environmental impact. Students of all ages can be involved in learning about transport and in making informed choices, as well as taking an advocacy role within their families and community.

Transport can be incorporated into a range of curriculum areas including science, technology, mathematics, media studies and history.

Addressing transport through AuSSI can help schools design and implement whole school practices such as the walking school bus, with help from the local community.
