School Excursions

Children explore real-life transport risks and practice road, pedestrian, bike and public transport safety skills in a safe, realistic urban environment.

Overview of our Primary School Excursions in Perth

During our school excursions, children explore real-life transport risks and practice road, pedestrian, bike and public transport safety skills in a safe and realistic environment.

We have one of WA’s most exciting outdoor excursion destinations for primary schools.

The Safety School teaches vital skills to keep children aged 4 – 12 years safe on the roads. Sadly, road trauma remains a leading cause of death and serious injury in WA children.

Our centre is the only one of its kind in WA and offers a fun, hands-on learning experience linked to the WA curriculum.

Benefits of our School Excursions

Our school excursions offer invaluable experiences for children, enabling them to  practice vital safety skills in a safe environment. These excursions provide hands-on learning that enhances students’ understanding of road safety. By engaging in interactive activities, children gain practical knowledge and confidence to navigate various transport scenarios safely.

These excursions are designed to foster essential life skills like  problem solving and situational awareness. Students work together, developing teamwork and communication abilities while reinforcing the importance of safety. Constable Care’s program immerses children in lifelike settings, allowing them to experience and respond to potential hazards in a controlled, supportive atmosphere.

By participating in these excursions, students are better equipped to make safe choices in real-world situations. Constable Care’s initiatives educate and empower children to be proactive and responsible members of the community, ensuring their well-being both now and in the future.
