Thinking about purchasing an e-bike this year?

Not all e-bikes sold in Australia are legal to ride on NSW roads.

Buy an e-bike that meets the European standard EN 15194, as they are legal to ride now and will be compliant when rule changes come into force from 1 March 2029.

Look for a mark on the e-bike that shows it meets this standard or speak to the retailer you are purchasing it from.

Scan the QR code or visit Transport for NSW’s guide to Choosing a Safe E-bikeExternal link for more information.

Last Thursday we held our Grandparents Day and Book Parade. This is the day that our students all love. All classes went to great efforts with their book parade costumes, and the parade is always such a happy and joyous occasion. After the parade, our families enjoyed reading together in our Old Bar Public School simultaneous reading challenge - it was truly a wonderful sight to see everyone enjoying books in the sunshine.

Then there were classroom visits, a book fair with Brush Turkey Books from Wingham; and a picnic lunch with our Grandparents and special visitors.

Thank you to everyone who came and joined in the fun with our students - we really appreciate and love seeing you here.

Please enjoy these photos from the day.
