Hamilton West Newsletter - Term 3, Week 10

Check out this A4 designed by Sarah Mercer.

23/09/2026

Monday and Tuesday this week, our Year 4&5 students had the chance to learn how to use scooters safely, responsibly, and confidently with help from Youthtown and their Scooter Safety Programme.
They learnt how to operate the scooter safely, fit a helmet correctly, identify hazards while riding on footpaths and what safe footpath behaviour looks like.
A big thank you to Youthtown in conjunction with Hamilton City Council for running this for our students.

Whether you're learning to ride for the first time or wanting to keep your bike in good working order, these practical workshops will help build your confidence and skills. Young riders can learn the basics of cycling with support from experienced instructors and their parents, while older students can gain hands-on experience carrying out safety checks and basic bike repairs. Bikes, helmets, tools, and small parts are available where needed.

We’re also partnering with the Hamilton BMX and mountain bike clubs to host ‘give it a go’ nights. If your child is interested in trying these biking sports come along.
