Road Safety Programs October 14, 2020 On 21 October, Year 10 students will be participating in a Road Safety incursion through Save a Life Australia. The program is aimed at Year 10 students; this is because they will either be on their Learner’s permit or about to get it. The timing of this program is crucial, as we know that a Learner with the right attitude should develop into a safe and responsible driver. The program goes beyond the students. Research shows that many Learner drivers develop bad habits and gain incorrect road law knowledge from parents. With this in mind they have developed an information session for all parents and supervising drivers. The session addresses many areas of the Learner process including how to look for the right Driving Instructor, how to be a better supervising driver and changes in road law. Also discussed is choosing the right vehicle and strategies to keep safe on the road once the Learner gains his / her P Plates. The parents’ session is delivered in the evening to allow working parents to attend. ** Please call / SMS the school if you can attend the Parent Information Session OR; ** you do NOT want your child to participate in the Student Program during school hours – alternate arrangements will be made. Parent Information Session Date: 21/10/2020 Time: 6.30pm Location: Exhibition Centre, Birdwood High School CLICK HERE for more information
