Cycling to school safety advice

Dear parents and carers, If your child is cycling to school, can you please ensure that they wear a helmet for their own safety. The safety of our students is our top priority. 

All bike and scooter riders are required to wear a bike helmet in Victoria.

Mandatory bicycle helmet laws were introduced in July 1990. This applies when riding:

• on roads and road-related areas
• on bike and shared paths
• in bike lanes
• in recreational parks
• in car parks 
• on footpaths. 

Police can stop bike and scooter riders and issue a fine or a warning for not wearing an approved bicycle helmet. Thank you for your cooperation on this.
