Thursday 17th March
A huge thank you to the Bike Dr from The Hub Cycleworks Shirley https://hubcycleworks.co.uk/ and Bike It Ray from SUSTRANS who kindly checked over all the bikes left with them so they are all safe and ready to ride around our beautiful City.
For more information about cycling around our City have a look at the My Journey Southampton Website on the cycling page at https://myjourneysouthampton.com/cycle/
Bling Your Bike/Scooter Competition
Well to everyone who entered into the Bling Your Bike/Scooter Competition today (Wednesday 23rd March). The JTAs found it really tough to decide on winners as the standard was really high. They finally decided and prizes were handed out. However, they feel all entries deserve a little prize and so they will be handed out in assembly on Friday. Well done everyone.
Winner of Bling Your Scooter Competition - Fantastic, well done
Winners of the Bling your Bike/Scooter Competition
A huge thank you to Bike It Ray (on his electric cargo bike) for delivering and putting up some amazing new signage on our bike shelter. One of the JTAs came up with the name Sholing Shack. It's looking incredible.
What a fantastic start to the Big Walk and Wheel 2022! So many active travellers, keep up the great work! It's so much fun in the sun to walk, scoot or cycle to and from school.
Winners again of Local Authority Primary School of the Year and STARS Primary School of the Region, South East
Yesterday we were invited to the Modeshift STARS Regional Awards event. We are so proud to announce we won two awards for the second year running for all that we do at Sholing Junior School to promote active travel:
- Local Authority For Primary School Of The Year, Southampton City Council, 2021-2022
- STARS Primary School Of The Region, South East, 2021- 2022
This is in recognition of all the initiatives implemented and carried out at Sholing Juniors to encourage and promote active travel. So, a massive thank you to everyone for actively travelling; walking, scooting and cycling, staying healthy and improving our air quality.
There are over 1200 schools signed up with Modeshift STARS in the South East of England, 75 were nominated by their local authority for the award and we won!
Finally, I would like to say a huge thank you and well done to all the Junior Travel Ambassadors who meet every week, plan and organise events in school to promote active travel, from the weekly Babs Bags to The Big Walk and Wheel next week. You are truly a dedicated and inspirational group of young people and I am immensely proud of everything you do.
So we are off the Nationals in London!
