(What does the sign aim to get people to do and think about?)
(Think about speed and people’s safety)
(Guide students to think about everyone’s right to be safe, regardless of their mode of transport - walking, riding or travelling by car)
Probe students to consider how traffic laws reflect Australian values, such as respect and inclusion (Yr 7 - How values, including freedom, respect, inclusion, civility, responsibility, compassion, equality and a ‘fair go’, can promote cohesion within Australian society (ACHASSK197)).
Consider how the students could take a leadership role in raising awareness about the school zone and promote safer driver and pedestrian behaviour at drop off and pick up time.
