Riding to School

A reminder to parents and care givers that children from Kindergarten –Year 2 must be accompanied by an adult and wear a helmet when riding bikes or scooters to or from school. Competent and confident riders in Year 3-6 may ride unaccompanied at parent discretion. These children should be aware of the road rules, able to follow them and always wear a helmet. When entering the school grounds children must dismount their bike or scooter and wheel it sensibly to the bike racks. Bikes or scooters should never be ridden within the school grounds.
