About this page
Ride2School's target audience is students in Years 5-9. Whether you are a primary or secondary school teacher, there are benfits for your students in being more active. Students who walk, ride, scoot or skate to school will arrive exercised and ready to learn. They are likely to be more independent than those who are driven to school.

Schools which participate in the Ride2School program in a "do it yourself" fashion may be eligible to receive a R2S sign to proudly display in their grounds.
