National Ride2School Day - Friday 20th March

We are a registered school for National Ride2School Day, which is Friday 20th March!

National Ride2School Day is a day where students and families are encouraged to travel to school actively (bikes or scooters) and looks to have a positive experience turn into a lasting behaviour change where students walk or ride to school.

61% of students nation wide use a car to get to school and almost 40% of students that live within 1km travel by car. 

Research shows that students who regularly walk or ride to school:

• Arrive more alert and ready to learn

• Build independence and confidence

• Reduce congestion outside the school gates
