Our school recycling program will be back up and running in week 5 this term. We help to provide a service where we can complete minor repairs on your bike and also donate second hand bikes to our students who need them. We have a number of bikes for 5-9yr olds that need a home and are ready for a new owner. So if you are interested please come and see us next to the Church before school on Fridays. We are also looking for new volunteers - so if there are any parents/carers who have an interest in helping out please come and see us.
