BIKES NEEDED

***BIKE DONATIONS***

As part of the ReCranked in Schools program we require bikes to be donated for students to restore and bring back to their former glory. 

If you have a bike that you would like to donate please contact the administration office via email: miners.rest.ps@education.vic.gov.au 

 

Bikes will be required from Week 2 of Term 3. If you have a bike to donate we will advise a drop off date via email. 

ReCranked in Schools

Next term we are excited to welcome the ReCranked in Schools to Miners Rest. 

 

ReCranked in Schools (RiS) offers students a chance to engage in practical, hands-on bike maintenance and restoration. Delivered by the ReCranked team, selected students will participate in 8 sessions across the term, with each session being 1 hour in duration. 

 

What is RiS about? RiS is a strength-based, engaging program designed to develop key personal and social skills through the medium of bicycle repair and restoration. Students will:

  • Learn practical bike maintenance and restoration techniques
  • Build confidence and a sense of achievement
  • Develop teamwork and communication skills
  • Engage in learning in a way that is accessible and fun

This program provides a positive, inclusive space where young people can thrive through practical learning and relationship-building. We are very excited to include ReCranked into our school community and welcome the opportunities it will provide our children.
