Crash! Bash!

by Alicya Cook and Liam Morris

On Tuesday we were extremely lucky to have members of the Court Theatre come and perform ‘Crash Bash’ to inform us about safety while driving on open roads. Some important takeaways from this were making sure when driving to be well prepared and know all the rules of the road as they are very important. E.g. the 2 second and 4 second rule as well as being able to recognise what each different hazard signs mean to keep us safe while driving. At the end the actors and one of the local police officers held a Q&A for us to ask questions about the show and road rules. It was an awesome performance that kept the entire audience engaged, ”That was really cool” and “Wow that was fun” were just a few of the comments made by the Year 11 to 13 students.
