Frequently asked questions

• Do I have to register online or can I complete a hardcopy form?

  All submissions must be received online. If you are having difficulties contact us.

• How are schools notified that registration for next year is open?

  Schools are notified via an email to the school generic email address and the current nominated Way2Go focus teachers.

• What happens if we don’t complete our registration before the close off date?

  It will not be processed or considered for a DPTI funded place. You may contact us to request to be placed on the waitlist in case a cancellation occurs during the year. Alternatively, you may enquire directly with a bike education provider about a fee for service arrangement.

• Do I need to resubmit an application if I need to change some details?

  No. If you need to change or correct any information on your submission just contact us prior to the close off date.

• Is it possible to book two years in advance?

  No. Available places and a school’s eligibility can change from year to year. Annual processing makes it fairer to all schools.

• Why is confirmation of dates required before the end of the school year?

  • Schools have time to consider their calendar and plan effectively.
  • Students get the full instruction time without the intrusion of other school events or priorities e.g. camps, swimming, NAPLAN etc.
  • It gives the best opportunity for the intended outcomes of the program to be achieved.
  • Schools are not disadvantaged or inconvenienced from having to wait on another’s response.

  *A catch up session can be negotiated at the initial planning stage if a programmed occasion/event means that school cannot participate in a particular week.

• Our school principal might not be here next year. Does the current principal still need to authorise our submission to be considered?

  Yes . If your new principal needs information or expresses concern please contact us.

• Who do I contact if I need help with the application?

  DPTI is responsible for the registration process. Telephone 8343 2459 or email DPTI.Way2Go@sa.gov.au

• We have year 3/4 composite classes. Can our year 3 students participate?

  Way2Go Bike Ed aims to develop students ability to manage an on-road traffic environment. For this reason only children from year 4 - 7 can participate. If you would like to discuss this further contact us.

• Which year level should we choose to participate?

  The program is available for students aged 9-13. The recommended year levels for participation are year 5-6 (aged 10-12). By this age the majority of students can ride a bike and the program can focus on developing students ability to manage an on-road traffic environment.
