Bike On NZ Charitable Trust has delivered a mini track and bikes to Te Kohanga Reo o Nga Paharakeke. The students at this lovely per-school really love their new bikes and tracks. Thank you to the Hawke’s Bay DHB for making this possible. It is all part of their work to make healthy communities.
The official opening of Bikes in Schools was a great day for all the children, teachers, parents, and guests that attended.
It was great to have Sarah Walker, the double world BMX champion, attend and also ride the different bike tracks. The PM John Key had a great time also. He even got on a bike and rode around the 550m bike track. It was great that he choose St Marys School to this for the first time ever.
The TV1 Close Up Reporter and camera man make great use of a bike to film two St Mary’s teachers on the opening day of Bikes in the School at St Mary’s School.This section of filming made it to the story that was broadcast that night. See http://tvnz.co.nz/close-up/bikes-kids-3372374/video
