       + Cycle safely at all times

       + Wear a helmet

       +  If possible wear bright colours so you can be seen. 

       +  Don't forget to bring a lock to keep your bike safe during the day.

         

Bikers Breakfast for P4-7

 

This events happens once a term.  Here children who cycle or scoot to school receive a free breakfast.  Parents and grandparents are also invited to attend for a well earned cup of tea or coffee.

 

It takes place in the Dinner Hall and starts at 8.10am and finishes at 8.40am.

If you are in P4-P7 you should have ticked the active travel box on the permission sheet given out at the start of the year. This, if ticked by a parent or guardian, allows you to cycle and leave your bike in school during the day.  Always remember to only ride a bike that is in good working order and ensure you have a bicycle lock and remember you MUST have a helmet.
