Whananaki School built a concrete track right around their school with a point-to-point pump track in the middle. Because the track is asphalt and concrete, it can be used by bikes, scooters, and skateboards.
We took them some helmets thanks to the BikeOn Trust so the kids can all have a helmet to wear when they are doing their stuff on the track. The students gave us a wonderful thank you and waiata and then showed us what they can do on their track.
Funding from BikeOn Trust has also enabled the school to purchase some bikes to join their fleet of surf skateboards, drift trikes, and scooters. In the six months that the track had been open, the kid’s skills had improved greatly. New signage around the school also helped to educate the students about road signs and how to share the space with other users.
