Ride to School Day at Cowes

Cowes Primary School was among schools from around the state to celebrate National Ride 2 School Day last Friday.

It is a day that encourages students to ride, scoot, skate or walk to school.

Teacher in charge Todd Cleeland described the day as a great opportunity to kickstart healthy, active habits.

It also helps contribute to students’ recommended daily exercise and is great for your overall health and well-being, said Todd.

 Over 250 students rode, scooted, skated or walked on the day, with many parents and older siblings also joining in.”

Todd has extended a huge thank you to the Phillip Island Bicycle Users Group (BUG) for assisting students in riding safely from various checkpoints around the Island, and the Island Grocer for supplying fresh fruit to sustain them after their effort.
