5/6 Four Day Bike Ride

 

Many of our Years 5/6 students have expressed interest in attending the 4 Day Bike Ride this year. The  event will take place from Tuesday 26th October – Friday 29th October. The Bike Ride involves 170kms or so over 4 days. Therefore, it is an event that requires strong commitment by the students who are involved.

Training for the ride will need to begin next week. Each week, they will need to participate in 2 training sessions at school and then follow up with another private session as well. That is, 3 training sessions per week, for 10 weeks. We encourage all participants to begin 10 weeks ahead so that the Bike Ride is a positive, rewarding experience.

Currently we are organising staff to take training sessions during the week. These sessions will be held at lunchtime and after school.

For children to participate they need to have a ‘Bike Excellence Award Card’ achieved through passing the school’s Bike Education Course recently. Students will need to bring their bikes and helmets on the allocated training days. They are also expected to keep a record of their training and collect parent or teacher signatures to verify their workload. Good luck kids!
