Bike, scooter and skateboard helmets

Jacqui Paterson —

It will be compulsory for students to wear helmets when using scooters, skateboards and bikes on the school grounds from Tuesday, 29th of October 2019.

Recently there have been a couple of incidents involving scooters that resulted in injuries. We have decided to make it a requirement that students riding scooters, bikes and skateboards must wear a helmet at all times. 

We urge that students bring their own helmets as we do not have enough to provide students with helmets at school. Please check that the helmet fits properly. 

This is also a good time to have a look at your child's scooter, bike or skateboard and check it for safety. Please also ensure that your child's scooters and skateboards, along with helmets, are clearly named. 

We thank you for your ongoing support.
