schedule All Day Event place Alexandra Park

All year 12 students will be attending the RYDA Driver Education Day sponsored by Rotary to be held at Alexandra Park on Tuesday 10 April 2018.

Permission slips and information has gone home to parents/caregivers.

RYDA is designed for 15-17 year olds as they begin to drive or ride in cars driven by their peers. This Programme challenges students to change the way they think about road safety and lay the foundation for safe road use throughout their lives. This programme focuses on cognition development, building an increasing social competency and resilience, and motivating low risk behaviour. Facilitators work with students to develop and practise personalised strategies and life skills which help them respond positively to challenges on the road, both as drivers and highly influential passengers. It does not teach technical driving skills. RYDA delivers six interactive sessions aimed at exploring crucial aspects of travelling safely, combining the efforts of local road safety experts/educators and recovering survivors of road crashes. There is an activity booklet to be completed on the day.
