Ausbike Education Grades 5/6 - First Day!

This week, we began our 5-week journey with Bike Education – Aus Cycling. WOW, the smile on the students faces say it all. We are so lucky to have two incredible coaches, professional BMX rider Emily and professional road cyclist Mary teaching our students mechanics, safety, basics, skills, and drills of cycling. This is one of the most exciting clinics we have had so far, and the feedback has been incredibly positive. We cannot wait for the next 4 sessions!

 

The remaining dates are as follows:

 

Term 3 - Monday the 2nd of September

Term 3 - Monday the 9th of September

Term 3 - Monday the 16th of September

Term 4 - Monday the 7th of October

 

5/6T - 9:50am

5/6B - 10:40am

5/6Y - 12:20pm

5/6S - 1:10pm

5/6K - 2:40pm

 

Each class will be getting their own 50-minute session. We are encouraging all students, who are ABLE, to bring their bikes and helmets to school for the day. We will store them safely at school much like how Ride to School Day worked.

 

If you CAN and you are able to - please bring your bikes and helmets!
