🚗 Year 11s Take Part in SAPOL Safer Journeys Road Safety Event 🚗

On March 4th, our Year 11 students attended the SAPOL Safer Journeys Road Safety event—an eye-opening day focused on safe driving, real-life stories, and making responsible choices on the road.

Students witnessed a mock crash scene, heard moving accounts from guest speakers impacted by road accidents, and got hands-on with interactive road safety activities and simulators. The experience brought the real consequences of unsafe driving into powerful perspective.

We’re so proud of our students for their respectful participation and maturity. Thank you to South Australia Police for delivering such a memorable and important program for our future drivers!
