Bike Safety

Compton Primary School
About the Program
Compton Primary School will run a full term bike and road safety program aiming to provide the children of the school with the knowledge of road rules and bike safety so they can travel to school safely. We feel that rural school kids lack a certain road sense due to the lack of riding areas with stoplights, speed zones, road signs etc.
