Ross Park Primary School Mountain Bike Program Term 4 2024
October 16 at 6:45 am - December 4 at 8:00 am
$40Hello Families,
Welcome!
We have great news! Wellness on Wheels and Ross Park Primary School will continue to offer the Mountain Bike (MTB) Program in Term 4 this year.
Financial support from the school has reduced the program fee to $40 per child.
This is a popular program with limited vacancies. Students are offered places based on skill level, experience, and age. We intend to offer a girls’ only group but need a minimum of 4 females to register.
This is not a ‘learn to ride a bike’ program. It is a MTB program for students who can confidently use brakes, and gears and are ready to ride designated mountain bike trails.
Program Term 4 2024 | |
Available to students in years | 3, 4, 5 and 6 (or with experience in Dusty Demons – the local MTB club’s junior program) |
Start | Wednesday 16 October Week 2 |
Finish | Wednesday 4 December Week 9 (total of 8 sessions) |
Time | 7.00am – 8.00am |
Where | Meet at the north-western corner of Ross Park Primary School beside the lane. Ride East Side Mountain bike trails. |
Cost | AusCycling membership (4 week free trial, $9.50 mthly, $81 annual), $20 club fee, and $40 program fee |
Equipment | Bring your own functioning bike, helmet and water bottle or Hydration Pack |
Please note:
- The program’s focus is to have fun riding on mountain bike trails with friends and parents, and build skills and confidence. Students are grouped according to skill level and led by the same volunteer trained and experienced MTB Instructor each session.
- Breakfast will be provided at school from 8.00am to 8.20am in Mr Sheriff’s classroom after each session. A big thank you to CARR – the local mountain bike club for their continued support of the program.
- Parental support is welcome and encouraged. Adult supervision while mountain biking helps provide a safer program and parent help serving breakfast is necessary, and fun!
