Wheels at school (bikes, scooters, skateboards, skates, etc)

Waitākiri Admin —

ALL wheels (including adults & preschoolers) must be walked into and out of school, to and from the school gates and to and from the storage areas.

Children are encouraged to bring their wheels to school – scooters, skateboards or skates and ride them in the designated areas only. Designated areas are the alps, scooter track and the back courts (see the Wheels Area over the page). Children are not allowed to use their bikes during the school day.

Wheels are not allowed in the foyer or Te Ao Marama (central courtyard). Please see the Wheels Parking Map. If a child is found to be riding their wheels anywhere other than the designated area, their wheels will be taken to the office for the day and they can collect them after school.

All children on wheels are required to wear helmets at school when riding in the designated areas. This is for the safety of our children. We also recommend that parents require their children to wear helmets when going to and from school. Additional protective clothing such as knee, elbow and wrist pads are encouraged but optional. Please name all equipment.
