Overview of our Primary School Excursions
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.
- Scale buildings, bus stop and train station;
- Working rail platform and pedestrian crossings;
- Functioning traffic lights;
- School zones including ‘kiss and drive’ zone; and
- Intersections and a roundabout.
Students learn how to negotiate hazards they may encounter in real life as pedestrians and cyclists and learn to make safer choices.
Mini iPads loaded with our innovative augmented reality (AR) app allow children to interact with engaging AR characters to solve realistic transport dangers.
