Active Travel - Levels 7-8
A Curriculum 2.0 and VTLM 2.0 aligned unit of work for Levels 7–8 that builds the skills, knowledge and confidence to make safe, responsible and sustainable travel choices. Students explore active travel options for everyday journeys while developing independence, wellbeing and lifelong healthy and environmental habits.
This unit supports students entering adolescence to develop independence in their everyday travel. Students learn how to make informed, safe and responsible travel choices when travelling to and from school, sport and social activities.

The unit includes clear learning intentions and success criteria, assessment rubrics and differentiated activities to support a range of learning needs, enabling teachers to assess progress and tailor learning for all students.
This unit of work was developed by Helen Owies at SportlinQ, with funding and support from the Department of Education, Department of Transport and Planning and the Transport Accident Commission (TAC).
