Let's Go Cycle Skills Training Programme

This programme is targeted towards Year 5 - 8 students and involves two different Grades. We advise that the students do both Grades. They should not be able to do Grade 2 without completing Grade 1.

Grade 1: A full school day programme on the school grounds. It involves bike checks for and teaches students how to ride safely and use road signals.

Grade 2: A full school day programme in the quiet neighbouring streets and walkways near the school putting their skills from Grade 1 into practice.​​​​​​​
