Bicycle Hospital at Galilee

We have been approached by Dr Crankys who runs a school-based bike recycle program that aims to ensure all kids have access to a working bike. It does this by recycling bikes at school Bicycle Hospitals. These Bicycle Hospitals are run by parent volunteers.

The Bicycle Hospital would ideally be open weekly either before or after school (to be determined by the parent helpers).

Dr Crankys provide the tools, workstand, pump, parts, helmets and locks and training for volunteers. Dr Crankys will run a demonstation session to train parents that are volunteering for to run the Bike Hospital.

Any child or family at the school who wants their bike checked or for a minor fix (e.g. puncture) would be welcome to bring it in.

If you would be interested in volunteering to run this Bicycle Hospital, please email Ms Carnovale ccarnovale@gsm.vic.edu.au

Many thanks, Ms Carnovale :)

Holidays week 1, the children enjoyed plenty of activities: starting from meditation ending with mazes, dancing and searching for the Rainbow treasure.

Oliver, Sofia and Jacob were extending all activities to an outstanding level involving all the children to participate in them.

This trio came first in the Rainbow treasure hunt and were the first ones to find all clues and hidden signs.

Children enjoyed shows at Scienceworks and were trying to repeat them back to the GOSH.

Violet and Paloma were taking care of our little Preps and dedicated a significant part of their time in GOSH: reading to them, drawing together, colouring and playing imaginary games.
