2011 at IPS has seen wonderful results in our monthly Ride2School days. Our goal is to achieve 80% of our students actively travelling to school. We have been very close to this target this year with 78% in September and 76% in May. Every month data is collated by our grade 6 students and the class that has achieved the best result receives ‘The Golden Shoe award’ at assembly. This is one of the highlights for all the students and competition is rife between the grades. At our Ride2School days every month our environmental leaders give out stickers and raffle tickets to students to go into the draw for prizes at the following assembly. Bicycle Victoria rewarded us with a healthy breakfast for the whole school for our fantastic achievements.
