Although there was no formal event, students at Horsham Primary School were encouraged to walk to school if they were able.

Inspired by the earlier Ride2School Day, Holy Trinity Lutheran College students walked together in a police escort.
"Our students loved the chance to socialise on their way into school, and it's a fantastic opportunity to incorporate exercise into their day," a spokesperson for the school said.
"We're incredibly grateful for Tianne and Jason Harris, parents in our community and members of Horsham Police, for providing us with a police escort to lead the procession."
