Dr Cranky's is starting again this term  

On Wednesday mornings, starting soon, you will see old bikes being repaired bikes that have been recycled. 

Dr Cranky’s is part of the BREAKS (Bicycle Recycling and Engagement for Active Kids at Schools) project. It is a partnership with the Boroondara Council, local schools, and VicHealth.  Dr Cranky’s has been helping schools since 2014 to recycle over 2400 bikes at 15 schools.

It is a program that will support more students to ride more often. It does this by helping parent volunteers recycle and repair bikes within the community to ensure every child has access to a working bike. Graham from Dr Cranky's will support us by assisting us to set-up the program and he will train the parent helpers too!

If you would like to assist or if you have an old bike that you would like to donate to the program, please contact me on julie.tainsh@education.vic.gov.au 

This program can only run if it has parent volunteers. The more parents we have to help and the more bikes we have to repair and recycle, then more children will have access to working bikes.

I look forward to hearing from you so that we can get this program back up and running.
