Mountain Bike Assessments

Some of our Year 5 and 6 students took part in a Mountain Bike Assessment last week. It is really important for us to check confidence and ability levels before we go out into the nearby tracks. We know that students learn when they are involved and having fun! The aim of our mountain biking trip is to build confidence on bike trails.

We will head out to Centennial Reserve on Tuesday morning.

We still need some parent helpers. Please let Nicola know if you can:
  • transport bikes and students to/ from the reserve (please let me know how many)
  • bike back to school with confident riders
  • supervise students at the Centennial Reserve.

Mountain Biking



We went to the pump track and some of us went down Jail Break and some went down Conviction. A good time was had by all!

EOTC week: Biking

PC Aaron Dan came in to talk to us about bike safety


Kia Ora Tatou,
Just a quick note outlining tomorrow's event.

We have the students in 3 groups according to their skill level.  The programme and instruction they receive will be in accordance with this.

All bikes will be delivered up to the Pump track in the morning.  Students will also be ferried up there. 

The Expert group will be working on the Pump track and then descending via the Mountain bike track to Miramar North. We will then ride back along Darlington Road and PUSH the bikes up Awa road on the footpath.

The Practitioner and Apprentice groups will remain at the Pump track and tracks around the reservoir.  They will then be driven back to school.

As this event is new for us we require permission for each of the students to partake.  Please flick an email back to me confirming that your child can participate.  This is not a compulsory event so if your child opts out; no problem! 

Thank you to those of you who have offered to help with transport; your support in hugely appreciated.  Before taking a carload, please fill in your driver details.  You can collect a form from either Nicola or John.

Check your email for the lists of groups.

Nga Mihi,    
John​
