On Monday 11th May, our Year 8 students began a week-long Bikeability course.

Whether students were completely new to cycling or had been riding for years, it did not matter, as the fantastic instructors assessed each student individually and encouraged them to achieve their own personal targets.

For some students, this meant learning to operate one of the adapted bike independently. For others, it was experiencing riding a two-wheeler with support, while some focused on developing their danger awareness and response times so they could apply their cycling skills safely on local roads.

Over the course of the week, every single student demonstrated outstanding progress, greatly improved confidence, and real pride in their achievements. Bikeability is always one of the highlights of our sporting calendar because it creates valuable opportunities for our students — opportunities to become increasingly independent by learning an important lifelong skill.

We could not be prouder of our Year 8 students and everything they have achieved throughout the week. A huge thank you must also go to Martin and his team of instructors who, once again, were fantastic with our students and played such a central role in their success and achievements.
