Celebrating its thirteenth year in 2012, National Walk Safely to School Day has become a popular annual event on school and family diaries across Australia to walk to school.

National Walk Safely to School Day offers wide-ranging benefits to Australian children. The day promotes regular walking, reduced car-dependency, cleaner air, improved diets, public transport and reinforces vital road-crossing skills children need.

For the first time in 2012, parents, carers and pupils can go online to find and plan their best walking route to school at their website.

I encourage the community to Walk Safely To School on Friday 15 May. For more information please click here.

National Volunteer Week (NVW) is the largest celebration of volunteers and volunteerism in Australia, and provides an opportunity to highlight the role of volunteers in our communities and to say thank you to the more than 6 million Australians who volunteer.

Australian volunteers are essential to society, and many charities would struggle to survive without the support of their volunteers. Australian volunteers contribute more than 700 million hours of community service to so many areas of society, including community health care, heritage and arts, environment conservation, emergency services, education, social justice and sports. NVW provides a platform to pay tribute to these volunteers who donate their time and energy to help others.

I would like to personally thank the tireless volunteers in Bonner who make a difference in our community each and every day.
