Ride 2 School Day - Friday 21 March
On Friday 21 March, we will be taking part in Ride to School Day. As a BeYou School we are asking for your support in a gold coin donation on the day to Beyond Blue. Beyond Blue provides information and support to help everyone in Australia achieve their best possible mental health.
Parents will be supervising the Ride 2 School groups. All of the riding school groups will leave their pick up points at 8:10am sharp and are estimated to arrive at school at approximately 8:30am. All four routes will have a parent/teacher in attendance, wearing a high visibility vest to help the students crossroads and maintain safety during the walk. If you miss the group, feel free to catch up with us; however do not leave any students unattended at any pick up point.
The bikes or scooters will be kept in the school hall for the day. Our teachers will be waiting at the hall for the students who rode, walked or scootered to school.
Please keep in mind that the roads leading to our school are very busy. All parents whose children are riding, scootering or walking to school are encouraged to join the riding school buses to ensure the safety of all students. If you are riding or scooting please ensure that you wear a helmet.
