TrackSAFE Education: Rail Safety for Schools is a rail safety education initiative of the TrackSAFE
We encourage teachers, students, parents, rail staff and members of the community to promote rail safety education through schools and community events, as part of a whole school approach. We provide learning resources for teachers, available free of charge on our website, www.tracksafeeducation.com.au. Students can visit the student section of the site to view our extensive media library and rail safety facts for their in-class activities.
