    • Ready, Set, Ride – Public Transport Safety.

    Every journey starts with a choice. When Jess and Cary start fooling around at the train station and Cary’s backpack ends up flying onto the tracks, they have a choice to make. What happens next isn’t what you’d expect and may change the rest of their lives.

    Using powerful storytelling and relatable scenarios, this program challenges young people to recognise risks, build confidence, and make positive choices in everyday situations.

    With a strong focus on rail and bus safety, students learn about the real consequences of unsafe behaviour around stops, trains, stations and tracks. Through the Public Transport Authority’s (Transperth) partnership with Constable Care and the Youth Choices Program, this program is helping young people become safer, more responsible travellers, empowering them to make smart choices that keep themselves and their communities safe.

    Why choose our Youth Choices programs

    In the high-pressure world of secondary school, traditional ‘instruction’ rarely leads to behavioural change. Our Youth Choices suite uses ‘Forum Theatre’ – an evidence-based methodology where students become active participants in the narrative. By allowing teens to stop the action and trial different solutions to issues like consent, substance use, and mental health, we provide a rehearsal space for life. This ‘theatre of the oppressed’ style engagement is proven to increase retention and empower students to find their own voice.

    We don’t shy away from the hard conversations. Our programs are developed in consultation with subject matter experts and Western Australian youth to ensure the scenarios reflect the actual lived experiences of today’s teenagers. Choosing Youth Choices means providing your school with a high-impact, peer-led experience that challenges prejudices, builds emotional intelligence, and equips young adults with the ethical framework to navigate adulthood safely.
