Bikes In Schools

Julie Bassett —

It has been great to see the children taking advantage of our bikes in schools program

It has been great to see the children taking advantage of our bikes in schools program.
This initiative -

  • Raises the confidence, self-esteem, and resilience of pupils through a fun activity
  • Delivers health and well-being outcomes for the pupils (and staff)
  • Provides an opportunity to self-manage risks within a safe environment
  • Instills the habit of using a bike for basic transportation
  • Results in the children and extended family biking more often
  • Pupils gain knowledge, skills and confidence to ride safely when they might ride outside of school

Thanks to Dan Versteeg for supporting our school to get this up and running in our school at lunchtime.
