Year 10 PDHPE Excursion

On Tuesday 3rd August, all of year 10 attended the Be street smart excursion. Please enjoy reading through this recap of the day that was kindly written by Leila Crisafulli-Kefu and Alexandra Marasigan. Thank you to the PDHPE staff and Mr Nisbet who attended with year 10.

The ‘Be Street Smart’ excursion held at Qudos Bank Arena was a very pleasant experience. There were some tears here and there, but overall it was most enjoyable. It helped many of us understand the dangers of driving and how we can stay safe on the roads. This was most beneficial for Year 10 as many of us are getting our learner licence this year!

It was an incredibly eye-opening experience that impacted our perspective on safety when driving. The excursion, designed to educate students about staying safe in various scenarios, exposed us to a multitude of potential risks we often overlook in our day-to-day lives. From learning about situational awareness to understanding how to navigate unfamiliar areas, the excursion offered us insight as to how we can stay safe whilst driving. This excursion not only provided us with valuable knowledge to enhance our personal safety but also left us with a lasting impression of how to stay safe and be prepared for any situation on the road.

This excursion was an unforgettable experience which we would highly recommend for the future year groups to look forward to. A huge takeaway from this experience was listening to the detrimental impact that poor decision making on the road had on people's lives from those willing to tell their stories about how being dangerous on the road led to a significant change in their lives. Their  physical and mental battle was evident and has provided a harsh reality check and reminder about the consequences of being dangerous on the road. This experience has encouraged us to think before making a bad decision on the road as we prepare to become learner drivers.
