A huge congratulations to Proserpine State High School Grade 12 students who completed a defensive driving course with us over the past few weeks! We wish you nothing but success as you move into the next chapter of your lives.
A special thank you to Proserpine State High School, Rotary Airlie Beach, Whitsunday Regional Council, Proserpine State High school's Parents and Citizens' Association, who made this course possible, their support allows us to continue delivering valuable programs like this for our young people in the community.
We're proud to have partnered with Whitsunday Regional Council, the Rotary Club of Airlie Beach and our school's Parents and Citizens' Association to deliver a Defensive Driving Course for our Year 11 and 12 students. đźš—
Students focused on hazard perception, vehicle handling, and safe decision-making under pressure – skills considered essential for reducing risks on the road.
Adding a meaningful local connection, the course was facilitated by our former graduate Declan Coull, who has since established himself in the field of driver education as Director of Advanced Defensive Driving Australia.
Well done to all who engaged in this valuable opportunity and a big thank you once again to our community stakeholders for joining us in investing in our youth to keep them safe on the roads. 👏
