The NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) has created this road and rail safety website which has curriculum and co-curricula resources to generate positive and informed behaviour change.

The NZ Transport Agency provides flexible teaching  and learning resources that support the New Zealand Curriculum, linking road safety to students’ everyday lives. There are 2 competitions one for Secondary Schools and one for primary schools find out more here http://education.nzta.govt.nz/competitions 

A reference group made up of teachers and school leaders from throughout New Zealand gives feedback on the design of the resources and how they are used in schools.

The NZTA encourages schools to support and enable road safety education across 3 areas: in the Whole School Approach which includes the school curriculum, the school ethos and organisation, and community partnerships.

The Whole-School Approach draws from a research project from the Western Australia state government’s School Drug Education and Road Aware (SDERA), www.det.wa.edu.au/sdera/detcms/navigation/road-safety/getting-it-together 

Principles for School Road Safety Education: A Research Summary presents a set of principles for best practice in school road safety education.

Embedding road safety education in a curriculum framework provides timely, ongoing education that is developmentally appropriate, the research found.Student-centred interactive activities support and develop not only knowledge and skills but also attitudes, motivations and behaviours that contribute to road safety.
