Getting a safe start
Since the Street Smart Primary began in 2014, we’ve taught thousands of children across our state essential skills to keep them safer around our roads.
Frequently asked questions
-
What does Street Smart Primary offer?
Street Smart Primary offers five lessons per day to a maximum of 30 students per lesson.

Where will the lessons be held?
To provide optimal learning experiences for all classes, it's best for all the lessons to be held in the same room.

- A suitable workspace for a maximum of 30 students that allows enough floor space for a road mat (2.5 x 3.5m) to be accommodated.

- RAA's staff work health and safety policy recommends that our Road Safety Educators be assigned an 'available' classroom space in schools to avoid risk of injury. A downstairs location is best, but if the location is upstairs, we must be able to access the room via a lift or ramp as we carry a lot of equipment.
