Year 12 VCAL News
RYDA Excursion
On Tuesday May 3rd our Year 12 VCAL students participated in the RYDA Road Safety excursion at Sandown Racecourse. The program challenged the students to change the way they think about road safety by participating in stopping distance demonstrations, devising personalised strategies, gaining an understanding of their risk profile, meeting a car crash survivor and leading an investigation into the causes of her crash. Students gained tips and strategies from road safety experts on how to protect themselves, their friends and family.
