RIDE DAY HAS 'WHEEL' IMPACT

Last term, the Environment team held a Ride 2 School Day. Students who came to school using active transportation (cycling, scooting, walking, skateboarding) were rewarded with breakfast courtesy of the Hospitality Club.

The Hands Up! Survey, administered before, during, and after the event, revealed some noteworthy findings.

Firstly, the survey revealed that a steady 80 per cent of students demonstrated sustainable commuting habits. Secondly, there was a 10 per cent increase in the proportion of students who rode their bicycles or scooters to school after R2S.

These results highlight that sustainability-oriented events, such as R2S, exert a favorable influence on the school community's ecological practices.

This event has done that, and we hope to celebrate its successes in the years to come.
