Students take part in road safety program at Palmdale

All classes from the Special Education Unit at Woy Woy Public School visited the Cares Road Safety Program at Palmdale recently.

"Our students all underwent training in pedestrian and road safety using the very detailed road network that they have at Cares," said relieving principal Ms Janine Szostak.

"After finishing a safety talk and assessing each child's ability on the bicycles supplied at Cares, our students were able to spend the next hour riding around the road network practicing their riding and safety skills.

"They rode around roundabouts, stopped at stop signs and made sure they were able to steer and signal safely.

"I think the most fun was had going off road on the dirt, where the children could show off their riding ability.

"Our students not only performed safely on their bicycles but were well behaved and well-mannered with our wonderful hosts.

"Our police trainers have already let us know how welcome we are to come back again next year," Ms Szostak said.
