POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER UNITL NEXT THURS 2nd THURS 9th – TO BE CONFIRMED.

Pupils (and staff) will get on their bikes this week to raise funds for the school. The school fund is used to support many activities around the school – equipment for clubs, buses for trips, strips for teams, rewards for the Merit Scheme and much more – all the little extras that add to the educational experience of our young folk.

On Thursday, pupils will go out to Cowan Park and cycle in groups around the paths surrounding the grass area containing the bandstand. All bikes, high-vis tops and helmets will be provided (and will be compulsory). Staff and S6 pupils will be there to supervise and we will have notices warning the public of the event. Hopefully it will not be as cold this time as it was in these pictures.

The goal for the day is to cycle a total of 500 miles between all the participants so not only will this raise funds, it will contribute to the health and wellbeing of the school community.

If you are in the area, you would be welcome to come and cheer the pupils on – but please look out for bikes! Our thanks to the ERC Parks Dept for the use of the parks and to Friends of Cowan Park for helping us bring it to the public’s attention.

So to all the pupils … GET ON YOUR BIKES!
