Palmerston North Boys’ High School Year 12 students have been given the opportunity to attend the award winning one day RYDA Road Safety Education Programme. 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 safe on our roads. This programme is not just for drivers, but young people as passengers too.
Information regarding the one day RYDA excursion is detailed below;
Date: Monday, April 4
Venue: Manfeild Park, Feilding
Time: Depart from school 9.00am
Return to school 2.45pm
Cost: $20 – this includes transport to and from the venue and the RYDA programme
RYDA delivers six interactive sessions aimed at exploring crucial aspects of travelling safely, combining the efforts of local road safety experts/educators and recovering survivors of road crashes. There is an activity booklet to be completed on the day. Students will also watch an emotional video of a fatal car crash.
This opportunity is available to only a limited number of Year 12 students and places will be allocated on a ‘first in’ basis upon payment of the $20 cost to the Finance Office.
