Road Safety Education Limited provide the RYDA programme to senior high school students across New Zealand.  A key event of the RYDA programme is when students bring all their experience and ideas together as they participate, as a year group, in the highly engaging and interactive RYDA workshop – here they experience a live speed and stopping demonstration, practice speaking up and managing mind-state with fun role plays, talk to driving instructors and police about their responsibilities and even investigate a real crash by interviewing the survivor.

SADD students can support the workshop by promoting the excursion to the student body prior to the day to encourage maximum attendance. After the day, SADD students can encourage their classmates to follow-up on the activities and speak with parents and whānau about the things they’ve learned and the strategies they will be putting in place. SADD works as an excellent accompaniment to the RYDA programme in schools, with SADD committees running activities throughout the year to reinforce and strengthen the road safety learning and messaging.
