RYDA Road Safety Programme - An Opportunity for Young Men in Year 12


In recent years we have offered young men in Year 12 the opportunity to complete the RYDA Road Safety programme. Following the very positive feedback we received from the young men who participated, and the significant interest from parents, we are again making this opportunity available for interested students on Wednesday, March 17.

At RYDA students attend six interactive sessions. In small peer groups, they will be challenged to change the way they think about road safety by participating in a stopping distance demonstration, devising personalised strategies, gaining an understanding of their individual risk profile and getting tips from road safety experts on how to protect themselves, their friends and family. The RYDA programme is about a lot more than just driving, so is applicable to all young men regardless of whether or not they have their driver's licence. Indeed, there is evidence that identifies the behaviour of passengers as a crucial influence on the actions of drivers.

Please see the attached document for further details of the content of the RYDA programme. Additional information can be found on the RYDA website http://www.rse.org.nz/ and on Facebook (please note that RYDA provides programmes in both New Zealand and Australia)

Students do not need to have their driver's licence in order to take part in the RYDA programme.

If your son wishes to take part, payment for the RYDA programme must be made to the Finance Office by Friday, March 12 at the latest.
