National Ride 2 School Day WA takes place on Friday 20 March 2026 to celebrate and encourage children to choose the healthiest and most fun way to travel to school – on bikes!Β 

Our Active Schools competition backs schools to encourage more kids to take to their tredlies to get to school with a randomly selected school winning a Bike Fun Day (see below). Initiatives include bike buses, ride to school breakfasts, bike decoration prizes, bike checks, expanded car-free zones, manned crossings and more…

Sign your school up here.

Riding to school not only benefits your children’s health and sense of independence, but also improves their concentration and academic performance.

On ya bike kids!

2025 Ride 2 School Day WA Active School winner: East Victoria Park Primary School!

East Victoria Park Primary SchoolΒ is the (randomly chosen) winner of our Ride 2 School Day WA 2025 Active Schools competition!Β 
About 60 schools registered and launched actions to have more of their kids getting to school on bikes, scooters or on foot and reaping the brain, body and independence benefits that come with active travel! Not to mention safer streets with less vehicle congestion.
Feedback from multiple schools showed some had 60%+ of their students riding, rolling or walking to school – quite a jump from the national average of 20-25%! Special shout out to Wembley Downs Primary School where 90% of students rode on the day!
Well done to all schools who took part and invested in a healthier and happier future across our State! We hope you’ll take up the Active Schools challenge for Ride 2 School Day WA in 2026. Sign up here.
