Bikes in Schools

Schools looking for support, advice or wanting to run events around Bikes in Schools, please contact Sherie Wright (birds.nest3200@gmail.com) Wellington’s Bikes in Schools regional coordinator. Sherie will be familiar to many of you from her years of supporting schools in the Hutt with road safety, cycle and scooter skills. We're very fortunate to have her looking after our Bikes in Schools schools on behalf of the Bike On Trust.open_in_new

She is available to help during, before or after Movin’March, particularly for schools whose students travel too far to walk or wheel; Sherie has lots of ideas on how you can make Movin’March count for your tamariki!

So whether you're already set up with Bikes in Schools, or interested in starting one, get in touch with Sherie!

Bikes in Schools is a programme run across our rohe to provide more tamariki with a chance to get out and have fun on two wheels. 

The benefits to a Bikes in Schools programme are numerous. As well as the obvious skills development, ākonga develop confidence physically and socially, they become more aware of their surroundings, and they come back to the classroom refreshed and ready to learn.
