The Safe Journeys program supports students to become safe, independent travellers as they near the milestone of starting secondary school.
About the program
The Safe Journeys Program is a practical and engaging Year 6 program that supports students to become safe independent travellers as they near the exciting milestone of starting secondary school.
Created in collaboration with Year 6 teachers and the Victorian Government’s Road Safety Partners, the Safe Journeys Program empowers students to develop trip planning skills – including the best route to and from secondary school – as well as safe road and public transport practices.
How does it work?
The free Safe Journeys Program includes eight (8) engaging activities designed to be undertaken at school and two (2) activities at the Road to Zero Education Complex in Melbourne Museum.
A key aspect of the program is the opportunity for students to apply their road safety knowledge by planning and undertaking the journey to Melbourne Museum, where they’ll extend their learning through interactive, immersive road safety experiences.
Program resources
The Safe Journeys Program is supported by a Teacher Guide, including lesson activities, teaching tips, additional resource links, curriculum outcomes and extension ideas. Please refer to the downloadable program overview and Safe Journeys Program Teacher Guide for details.
Student work can be completed in the Safe Journeys Program Student Road Map. This interactive workbook allows students to keep their learning in one place and collect virtual stamps along the way to recognise their learning.
Learning intentions
The learning intentions of the Safe Journeys Program are to:
- Develop and apply road safety knowledge (including the Safe System approach adopted by Victoria) and journey planning skills
- Support students’ development of safe road and public transport practices to become competent independent travellers/commuters to and from secondary school and other locations.
