Welcome to Birdwood High School's Road  Safety Education Site Birdwood Curriculum Development Sponsored by the Motor Accident Commission
Drama and Road Safety. Drama provides some important opportunities for students to role-play the effects of a road crash. Students can convey the scenario leading up to a crash, such as being at a party, arguing with the "nominated driver" and having to find another way to get home. Their work can then convey the effects on family, emergency workers and victims. A drama class could then perform these scenarios for other students, perhaps during Pastoral Care sessions, with time for discussion afterwards. Senior Drama students can also play the roles of victims in the Mock Crash. This also involves some work with costumes and make-up.
