“Bubbles, music and colours made the colour run really fun!” - Alex, Year 3

“This was the best way to end our primary school life!” – Rogan, Year 6

Thank you to Sera De Pace for her organization of this amazing and most looked-forward-to event!  As a school, we raised $6000.00! 

Congratulations all and thank you for your kind contributions!

YEAR 1/2 “LET’S RIDE” BIKE EDUCATION LESSONS

During the term, Year 1/2 students participated in the “Let’s Ride” Bike Ed program by Cycling Australia.  Each Friday for four weeks, JLA students bought their bikes and helmets to school to learn from cycling coach Peter Gnass.  We have learnt many things from riding a bike with two wheels unassisted by trainer wheels, to buckling our helmets correctly without wearing your sun hat underneath, as it decreases safety.

We hope that students will continue to practice riding their bikes without training wheels, and even encourage their families to go for bike rides with them?  It is a great way to learn road rules and road safety, practice their newfound bike skills (a skill they can use for life!), but most importantly it is a great and easy way to keep fit and healthy!  It is also a great alternative to driving cars, and so saving the environment at the same time!
