MT LAWLEY Middle School pupils have helped repair bikes that are to be shipped to Timor.

Currently Timor kids face a 12km hike to get to school, but thanks to Year 9 students in the school bike repair club they will be able to pedal there quicker.

A local rotary club will organise transportation.

Mt Lawley school literary teacher Frank Camilleri says he’s delighted to get the first shipment out the door.

“In time, as we ship our bicycles to Timor, a small repair business may be established there to service the growing bike numbers,” he says.
