Welcome to Snug Primary School

Dear Families,

This Friday is Ride2School day.  All Snug students, teachers and families are encouraged to safely ride their bikes to school, and be rewarded with breakfast at school.

All children under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult when cycling to school.  Parents also need to judge whether your child(ren) over the age of 10 is competent to ride unaccompanied.  This will depend on your child's riding ability, their spatial awareness, understanding of traffic rules and the route they are expecting to take.

There will be a group riding from the junction of Manuka Road and Old Station Road leaving at 7.20am, expecting to reach the top of the hill at approximately 8.00am, and coming along Davies Road from about 8.15am.  If you would like to join this group, please contact Lorna Barrett on 0400 666 994, or be ready to go from these meeting points at the listed times.

If you are riding to school and are willing to have other children join you, then please comment on our Facebook post with the location you will be leaving from, the route you will be taking, and approximate times at major locations (ie intersections or other points of interest) where other children can meet up and join in your bike train.  If you don't use Facebook, then please contact Lorna Barrett on 0400 666 994 and we'll post on your behalf.

Remember the following:

• All riders must wear an approved cycling helmet at all times
• All riders must obey the road rules
• Ride on the quietest possible route available to you
• Ride on the footpath if it is appropriate but take care of other footpath users
• Walk with your bike when crossing the road
• Walk with your bike on school grounds
• Wear high visibility clothing so that others can see you
• Cross the Channel Highway at the crossing where necessary
• Make sure your bike and your child(ren)'s bike are in good working order
• Be aware of the weather conditions, eat before setting out and carry sufficient water for your ride

All participants who Ride2School are invited to join us for a light breakfast of toast and spread, fruit and a milk shake from the school canteen kitchen (in the admin building).

Regards,
Bonnie Jeffrey
