Road Safety Day

On Friday 30th August the Year 10-12 students went on an excursion to Merredin College to participate in a Road Safety Consultation forum hosted by the Road Safety Commission. Students had the opportunity to work in groups to problem solve about how WA’s roads, and in particular Wheatbelt roads, can be made safer so that the annual road toll can be reduced to 0 deaths. Students listened to confronting stories from the local Merredin police Sergeant about his experiences with being a first responder to Wheatbelt road crashes as well as representatives from the Road Safety Commission on current initiatives to reduce injuries and deaths from road related accidents. Overall, it was an insightful excursion for the MDHS students and a very timely presentation as our students begin the journey in getting their licenses!
