Year 11 took part in the RYDA Road Safety Program at Homebush, exploring what it means to be active, responsible road users. 🚗💡 Through six engaging sessions—including real-life scenarios, expert presentations, and hands-on activities—students learned about driver fatigue, speed and stopping distances, truck blind spots, driving laws, and safety features in modern vehicles. A standout moment was hearing from an inspiring car crash survivor, reminding us all of the power of safe choices behind the wheel. A powerful and eye-opening experience for all involved. 👏
