Parents reminded about cycling helmets

Ettalong Public School principal Ms Lynn Balfour reminded parents and carers to ensure children cycling to school wear helmets after a student was involved in a bike accident.

"After a nasty bike accident earlier this term, it is a timely reminder that it is mandatory for all students, if riding a bike or a scooter to school, to wear a properly fitting helmet.

"Only students in Years 3 to 6 may ride to school unaccompanied for safety reasons but all students, whether accompanied or not, must wear a helmet if riding a scooter or a bike," Ms Balfour said.
