The Travel theme is funded by the Department of Transport and supported by the National Transport Authority. The ultimate aim of the theme is to increase the number of students walking, cycling, scooting, using public transport or carpooling on the way to school.
Sustainable Development Goals

Since the GS Travel programme started in 2008, over 2,650 school have engaged in (or are starting) the first travel theme, reaching approximately 636,574 students and 56,768 staff members nationwide.

Travel has been a wonderful flag to work towards; it has such a positive impact and involves parents and the local community and connected everyone to their local environment more. It also promotes good health and a more active lifestyle, benefiting not just our environment but our bodies too!
