Cycling to school

The school is famous for having achieved the highest rate of students cycling to school in the Auckland Region, at about 200 of 500 students on a normal day, a results considered to be partly due to the environment around the school and the Lake Road cycle lanes. At the same time, the level of students driven to school by car is very low, at only about 11% arrive by car.^[2]

In 2010, after being nominated by Cycle Action Auckland, the school won the national Cycle Friendly Awards in the "commitment by a public organisation", sponsored by ASB Bank.^[3]
