Over the past couple of weeks, our Year 6 students have been involved in the Cycle Safe programme. This is where they get to bring their bikes and helmets to school and a team of teachers from The Christchurch City Council come to school to teach our kids.
Cycle Safe is a cycle skills education programme for schools. Our students get to learn the benefits of cycling and how to ride with confidence and be road-wise.
Christchurch's Cycle Safe Programme is considered one of the best in the country and is used as a leading delivery model. All children receive a personalised certificate highlighting their personal achievements.
The programme our children were involved with this year included;
Cycle maintenance and correct helmet fitting
Basic cycling skills
Road rules
On-road cycling.
Although very cold and a bit wet this year, we watched our year 6 students thriving out on the roads. It was so awesome to see so many bringing their bikes to school and enjoying the outdoor learning!
