Welcome to Birdwood High School's Road  Safety Education Site Birdwood Curriculum Development Sponsored by the Motor Accident Commission
The Motor Accident Commission Grant Birdwood High is one of the most committed Road Safety educators in the state, due to the high numbers of past and present students involved in road trauma. For a number of years we have been experimenting with different initiatives and programmes. In 2005, Birdwood High School was successful in applying for a grant from the Motor Accident Commission. The purpose of the grant was to assist in the development of school-based Road Safety resources, with a view to making our experiences available to other schools who wish to teach Road Safety. The information on this site is the result. We were particularly keen to develop Road Safety Education on several fronts: - As a stand-alone course for Stage 1 (Year 11) As a focus for Year Level/Pastoral Care programmes As a theme to be embedded across the curriculum in a range of subject areas As a major event - the Mock Crash As a number of "special offers", such as the Roadsafe Driver-Awareness Course and "Physics in Motion". By providing money for teacher release time, resources, printing costs and travel expenses for students, the Motor Accident Commission has enabled us to progress much more quickly than would otherwise have been possible. For this, we thank them most sincerely!
