Bicycle Safety

Parents have a special role in relation to bicycle safety. It is vital that parents make sure that the bicycles their children ride are roadworthy and that the children are provided with approved safety helmets which they wear whenever they are riding the bicycles. It is a legal requirement to wear an approved helmet correctly when riding a bicycle as this has the potential to reduce the risk of head/brain injuries in an accident.

Also, under NSW legislation a bicycle is considered a vehicle and, as such, cyclists are required to obey the road rules. These rules include stopping at red lights or STOP signs, giving way as indicated by signage and giving hand signals when changing direction.

Students must not ride their bikes on school grounds.

Please note that skateboards and scooters are banned.
