Rail trail adventure
TIMBOON P-12 students took part in a walk and bike ride along the rail trail on Monday as part of a program encouraging health and wellbeing in the community.
The walk and ride was organised by Year 11 Vocational Major (VM) students for their community wellbeing unit.
“There’s about nine of us, it’s a bit of a small group,” student Lucy Jones said.
“We brainstormed a few ideas and we came up with a bike ride and if some people didn’t want to do a bike ride we had the idea of a walk.
“It’s basically just to promote health and wellbeing in the community, get everyone out and exercising and mingling.
“It was a fun little day.
“We had some nice fresh juices that we got from Fresher, they donated us two boxes, so some nice orange juices to have on the way back.”
The bike riders and walkers were made up of Year Seven students who were excited to get out of the classroom and into the fresh air.
“This is a completely new thing,” Year 11 student Oliver Makin said.
“Probably someone has done it before but not our group.”
