NSW Road Safety Education in Schools Program
We support the NSW Road Safety Education in Schools Program in all NSW Catholic schools.
We have a funding agreement with Transport for NSW (TfNSW).
We work closely with the Centre for Road Safety within TfNSW to:
- deliver professional learning for teachers
- provide resources to schools to improve road user attitudes and behaviours.
Key Road Safety Messages
While the Program is directed at students and teachers, road safety is a shared responsibility.
Catholic schools work with their parents and community to reinforce the Centre for Road Safety’s Key Road Safety Messages and campaigns.
The NSW Road Safety Education Program in Schools seeks to:
- Develop road safety education resources for the use of teachers and students in NSW schools
- Deliver an effective road safety education curriculum in NSW schools from K-12
- Foster greater awareness of road safety issues among all members of school communities
- Encourage behavioural change in children and young people through:
- the development of knowledge, values, attitudes and behaviours
- enabling them to make better informed decisions as safe road users
- reducing the incidence of injuries and deaths involving young people on NSW roads.
K-6 resources
We worked with the Centre for Road Safety in the development of:
- the K-6 resource, Safety Town, and
- its suite of secondary resources, On the Move.
