In School Programme
Kaitiaki o Ara/SADD in-school programme is for young people aged 16-18 to learn more about the issues facing young people on our roads and what they can do to educate their peers to adopt safer road user behaviours.
The programme is designed to empower the students to develop an activity related to influencing safer road safety behaviours that they will run at their schools. The activity can contribute to NCEA Unit Standard 9681 or 11101.
The programme is based on good practice road safety education principles. The students have the opportunity to work alongside a variety of Police staff, and other road safety organisations. The students present their activity to their peer group.
Teachers are provided with the programme resources and encouraged to deliver the sessions to the students prior to the workshop, the students will research and prepare the presentations/activities prior to the workshop, then after the workshop they will deliver the activity to their peers to empower them to adopt safer road user behaviours.
