UNITING FOR SAFER ROADS

Transport for NSW and Sydney Catholic Schools’ Commitment to Road Safety

Proudly funded by Transport for NSW, Sydney Catholic Schools, in partnership with Catholic Schools NSW, supports the delivery of the NSW Road Safety Education in Schools Program by providing resources and professional learning to teachers in Catholic schools in the Sydney Archdiocese. While the program is directed at students and teachers, road safety is clearly a shared responsibility, so Catholic schools are recommended to work with their parents and the wider community to reinforce the Centre for Road Safety’s Key Road Safety Messages and campaigns.
