Road Safety Education


Road Safety Education (RSE) in schools aims to prepare and equip children and young people with the knowledge, skills and positive attitudes that will enable them to stay safe in and around different traffic environments.

Proudly funded by Transport for NSW, AISNSW shares in a partnership with Catholic Schools NSW, Department of Education, and Kids and Traffic (the Early Childhood Road Safety Education Program at Macquarie University) to support the delivery of road safety education by providing resources and professional learning to teachers in independent schools throughout NSW.

Road Safety Education (RSE) in schools plays a major role in shaping students’ attitudes and behaviours as responsible drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists. AISNSW is committed to supporting teachers to implement quality RSE in their classrooms and schools.

Customised School-Based Workshops

AISNSW offers schools the opportunity to select from a number of school-based professional learning workshops. These focus on current curriculum issues and are designed to support teachers to incorporate RSE effectively into teaching and learning. Each workshop is flexible and can be customised to help meet the needs of schools. All workshops are typically up to 2 hours in duration, are funded by Transport for NSW and are provided at no cost to schools.

K-6 Road Safety Education: Partnering with Families

This online or face-to-face workshop will support schools to partner with parents and carers in support of Road Safety Education (RSE). 

Teachers will be supported to promote RSE, reinforcing safe road use in and around schools as well as reinforce key RSE messages.

Road Safety Resource Exploration K-6 and 7-12

This hands-on workshop is for teachers who wish to explore the range of RSE resources for their classrooms. During this workshop, participants will be introduced to and utilise a variety of road safety resources and explore how they can be used to enhance learning and engage students. By request, this workshop can also include the use of iPads or interactive whiteboards.

Analysing a Text to Support Bus Safety Resource

The NSW Syllabus for the Australian curriculum English K-6 specifies that students will study a range of texts that vary in mode (spoken, print, visual, digital, media and multimedia) and type (imaginative, informative and persuasive). In this workshop, teachers will explore ways in which RSE resources may be used to embed examples of each mode and type of text within their programming and planning across Early Stage 1 – Stage 3.
