Teachers: Lessons | RAC Road Ready

Curriculum-linked lessons

At RAC, we believe road safety education should involve a safe system approach with schools, homes and the local community working together.

We’ve created a range of lesson plans and in class workshops that are aligned to the Western Australian Curriculum to help you integrate road safety education into your school as part of a safe system approach.

Road safety education fits within the ‘Personal, social and community health’ Strand of the Health and Physical Education learning area of the Western Australian Curriculum and is best delivered in a cross curricula context.
