On Wednesday 14th February our Year 12 students attended the award winning one day RYDA road safety education programme held at Donnelly Park in Levin.

RYDA is designed for 15-17 year olds as they begin to drive or ride in cars driven by their peers. The programme focuses on attitude and awareness with the aim of equipping young adults to stay on our roads. This programme is not just for divers, but young people as passengers too.

There were six interactive sessions aimed at exploring crucial aspects of travelling safety, combining the efforts of local road safety experts/ educators and recovering survivors of road crashes. 

The students enjoyed the day and found it very hard hitting and informative.
