Traffic & Road Safety for Homeschoolers (Kew)

Traffic & Road Safety for Homeschoolers

Learning aims and outcomes:
The aim is for children to learn road safety in a broad range of everyday scenarios by engaging in imaginative play.
The Kew traffic school team engages in intentional teaching practices to extend children’s learning about road safety and build their confidence to become more independent road users.

Students will learn how to be safe on the road as:

• Pedestrians
  
• Cyclists
  
• Passengers in a vehicle
  

The program is run by a trained teacher and is developed in line with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework and the Victorian Curriculum F-10.

What happens in a session
Each road safety education session runs for 90 minutes and includes:
a. 20-minute, age-appropriate interactive presentation about road safety.
b 10-minute guided walk around Kew Traffic School to give the children an opportunity to practice their new knowledge.
c. 60 minutes of exclusive use of the Kew Traffic School track and facilities to practice road safety. During this hour, children can make their way around the track as cyclists (with bikes provided by Kew Traffic School to suit all sizes and stages of development) or pedestrians. They can also engage in imaginative play across the facility, for example by role-playing as an emergency services person.
After the program, provide each child with a certificate of attendance and further resources to share with parents and carers.
