Children are allowed to bring their own road legal bicycle to school along with their standards-approved cycle helmet and make use of the bike track during morning interval and lunch time.

Please note:

  • It is a parent’s responsibility to check their child’s bike is road legal and safe, that the child has a standards-approved cycle helmet, that the helmet is adjusted correctly and know how to put the helmet on, secure it and also take it off.
  • Students may not cycle in the school grounds during school hours (other than on the cycle track during morning interval and lunch time).  
  • Bikes and scooters must not be ridden within the school grounds before and after school.  
  • Students must place their cycles in the cycle stands, or beside the cycle stands which are currently located towards the school entrance off Martbern Crescent.
  • Students can also make use of the bikes and helmets that have been donated to our school. If you don’t want your child riding a bike please let your teacher know.
  • A reminder that all property brought to school by students is the responsibility of those students.
