From decorated bikes to scooters decked out with Christmas lights, Bourchier St Primary School was abuzz with activity as students rolled in on all kinds of wheels on National Ride2School Day.
The initiative is part of a program that encourages Australian students to ride their bikes to school, promoting physical activity and healthy living.
More than 200,000 students from over 484 schools nationwide registered to participate in the initiative.
“It’s really important that we promote a healthy and active lifestyle,” vice principal Gary Darma said.
Mr Darma also said the kids were excited about the event, and much effort was put into decorating their bikes and scooters.
“We’ve got Christmas lights on scooters; we’ve had an Easter-themed bike complete with chocolate eggs and everything. So, it’s been very impressive — but yeah, lots of excitement in the place,” he said.
The school hopes to encourage students and families to ride their bikes and walk to school throughout the year.
