The school thanks P&C for the generous sponsorship of our new “Ride for Life”
program. We value the P&C’s ongoing support for our school’s focus on ensuring
our students are actively engaged with healthy lifestyles and life skills. This
support includes Walking School Bus, support for Walk Safely to School Day, and
fundraising support for school sport and fitness resources.
This term P&C have supported the school with the purchase of 16 bikes and
helmets to the value of $6000 to start up our annual bike riding program.
Professional bicycle riding coaches will deliver weekly lessons to our Stage 3
students for the remainder of the term catering for the needs of beginner,
intermediate and advanced riders. Providing access to this specific training will
ensure our students are not only equipped with important physical skills but will
get the most out of the Stage 3 Camp in Dubbo later this year. It is interesting to
note that almost 50% of students are currently not confident bike riders.
