Last Friday’s Ride and Scoot to School Day saw a large number of students involved in the activities.
While the younger children undertook activities under the COLA in the school grounds the seniors took a journey throughout the town, and if their actions were any indication, they are safe on the roads.
A group was seen travelling up Lawrence St towards the railway line before giving clear signals of their intention of turning right into Livingstone St.
Well done to all involved.
