On Monday morning students at Brighton Beach Primary School had plenty of incentive to catch the ‘Walking School Bus’ to school. Not only was it an opportunity to enjoy an unusually warm August morning, but they were joined on their walk by Daniel Bell and Jace Bode.

Kids relished the chance to high five the two MELBOURNEfc defenders as they arrived at school and were given team posters as a memento of the occasion.

MELBOURNEfc partners with the Bayside City Council’s Walking School Bus program. The Walking School Bus provides a safe and convenient way for children to travel to school and an opportunity for children to learn both road sense and traffic safety.
