1991 – Crash Simulation 🚑🚒🚓

We’ve uncovered photos from a 1991 Crash Simulation held at Forest Lake School. It looks like an incredibly interactive and educational experience for everyone involved.

A range of emergency services took part in recreating a crash scenario—an issue that remains just as relevant for our communities today. The hands-on learning and real-world connection in these photos are remarkable.

Did you participate in this event, or do you remember watching it?
We’d love to hear any stories, details, or insights from those who were there.

Share your memories below. 👇🌿

1980's: we have very few photos of this era but thanks to Susan Hobson for providing these for us to use.

Ēveryone loves a dress up day. These photos we believe are an event from the 1980's.
Do you recognise yourself and can confirm the year of the event?
Love to hear from you.
