Bike Education Year 5 and Year 6

The students will begin the Bike Ed Program in Week 3 of Term 4 (23rd October). Each student will need to bring their own bike to school to be used for their lessons on Thursday mornings. The bike will need to be in good working order and each student is to have a properly fitted helmet. 

The activities will take place inside the school grounds and will culminate with a bike riding day for the Year 5 students and Year 6 students on different days at the end of November. 

Please have your child dust off their bike on the holidays and check that brakes and gears are all in good working order. It is worth checking that the height of their seat is set to the correct position as children grow very quickly and this is  a simple fix at home. The picture below shows the correct position for seat height.
