Not only will this be a great option from a sustainability view point, with less cars on the roads, but it will also encourage health and fitness in our students. Of course safety will be paramount with all children required to wear a helmet and comply with Victorian laws for bicycle riding. We have an amazing bike shed (see below) to house bikes and scooters!
