Road safety education for secondary school students

Our resources and awareness campaigns to help secondary school students stay safe on our roads.

It’s both important and timely to foster good road safety attitudes and behaviour among secondary school students. In particular, our Transition Year programme which prepares and supports students, has been very well received by teachers nationwide. 

Why road safety is so important in secondary school:

  • Secondary school students are impressionable, flexible and open to changing their behaviour.
  • Younger children look up to them as role models. 
  • At their age, they may be thinking about becoming drivers and will need to learn and practice good road safety behaviour and show respect to all road users. 

Our National Road Safety Education team offers a range of resources and activities which tailor road safety messages to engage secondary schools and their students.
