Road safety in PDHPE mapping tools
Your students are regularly part of the road and traffic environment; going to and from school, before and after school, on the weekends and school holidays.
They may travel as a pedestrian, passenger, public transport user, bike or scooter rider.
This means teaching safe road user behaviours can be authentically embedded in many different places in the PDHPE K-10 syllabus.
Review the following mapping resource for your stage of teaching to see where you can program road safety into your PDHPE scope and sequence and teaching and learning activities.
