Sustainable Transport Options

Bikes and Scooters

Children in Year 5 and 6 are required to have a bike license with a completed consent form from parents or caregivers to ride independently. (Forms are available from the school office). 

Without a license or for younger year levels, children are required to be accompanied by a parent or caregiver to and/or from school. When registering and obtaining consent from our school, children will be provided with 1 High Visibility vest for their safety and may use the scooter/bike storage shed.

Park and Walk – “the easy option” for those restricted by distance or time

We highly support reducing traffic congestion around our school and encourage exercise amongst the children, therefore, we have designated 3 drop points carefully chosen to avoid roads and utilize one zebra crossing point where need be. This also supports road safety and encourages carpooling with friends and neighbours. Each option is only a 3-5 minute walk and supports the children to be a part of our programme.
