Our Year 4 and 4/5 students embarked on an exciting excursion to the Constable Care Safety School in Maylands. This state-of-the-art experiential learning centre provided a hands-on opportunity for students to develop essential road safety skills in a realistic yet risk-free environment.
The Safety School features an intricately designed replica of Perth’s streets, complete with scale buildings, working rail platforms and crossings, traffic lights, intersections, roadworks, school zones, and public transport elements. Every travel scenario a child might encounter in daily life is represented, allowing students to learn how to identify potential hazards and respond safely.
Students participated in engaging bike and pedestrian safety workshops, where they learned about responsible road behaviours, the importance of staying alert in different traffic conditions, and how to interact safely with public transport systems. Through the latest in augmented reality learning, the experience reinforced the road safety curriculum taught in our Health lessons, helping students connect theory with practice.
Following their time at the Safety School, students had the opportunity to apply their newly acquired skills in a real-world setting. They travelled back to Beechboro Christian School using public transport, which involved walking, catching the train, and boarding a bus. The trip home was not only an educational experience but also an enjoyable adventure, with all students demonstrating responsible and respectful behaviour.
We are incredibly proud of them for being such outstanding representatives of our school!
