A mascot, written stories, and head-mounted cameras help students from rural and town schools share perspectives on school bus safety. Thanks to Far North REAP.
In the Far North District, most students travel to and from school by bus. Every school community has specific safety challenges related to the journey, so this project provides students with engaging ways to share their perspectives and gain safety insights about the daily school bus ride.
This work is led by road safety educators from Far North REAP working with local schools and a locally owned bus company.
Read about Tuska the Pig and the student writing he supports. Plus, the use of GoPro cameras and drones to create videos about local bus journeys and how these fit into Far North REAPs wider bus safety education offerings to schools.
