This week our Year 10 students were involved in the VicRoads Road Smart program.
Road Smart is a road safety education and training program designed to build on the existing road knowledge, skills and behaviours of Year 10 (or equivalent) students. The program aims to help lay down the foundations for safe driving among young drivers.
Funded by the Victorian Government, Road Smart is an initiative that supports and enhances Victoria’s Graduated Licensing System, featuring:
•An interactive classroom session
•eLearning for students and their supervising drivers
•An in-car session
•A teacher resource toolkit linked to the Victorian Curriculum.
The program is designed to provide students with a broader understanding of:
•road trauma and it's causes
•how the safe system works
•the Towards Zero (External link) vision
•the Graduated Licensing System
•importance of a staged approach to learning to drive.
