We are an Active Travel School and encourage our students to walk, ride or scoot to school. This reduces traffic congestion, is good for the environment as well as good for the health and wellbeing of our students.

When students bring their bikes and scooters to school, it is important that they bring a lock to secure their ‘vehicle’ and so safeguard from theft. We do have a lockable cage but this is open for periods of time at the beginning and and end of the school day. This could be an opportunity for members of the community or other students to access bikes and scooters that may not be their own.

It is recommended for the safety of students, that helmets are worn whilst riding to and from school on a scooter. If travelling on a scooter, according to Qld Dept of Transport, students must

• keep to the far left-hand side of the road, and to the left of a footpath (including a shared path)
• give way to foot pedestrians on a footpath (including a shared path)
• give way to bicycles on a bicycle path.

When riding a bicycle to and from school, students are required, by law to wear a securely fitting and fastened Australian Standard approved bicycle helmet. When riding a bicycle , students must:

• have 1 leg on each side of the seat
• face forwards
• keep at least 1 hand on the handlebars.
