Everyone is walking in Upper Mount Gravatt

Upper Mount Gravatt State School is proud to participate for the third year in a row in Walk Safely to School Day.

To celebrate the year of physical activity, the school has organised for all students from Prep to Year 7 to participate in this event by walking from the school through Roly Chapman Reserve and along the pavements surrounding the school. Parents have also been invited to walk along beside their kids.

Upper Mount Gravatt State School really enjoys organising and conducting events that allows its students to participate in fun enjoyable activities with friends and family. It is also a wonderful way to start the school day.
