Units of Work
Curriculum 2.0 and VTLM 2.0 aligned units of work that support primary and specialist school students to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to be safe, active and responsible road users. Areas of focus include pedestrian safety, Bike Ed, active travel, protective behaviours, and the connections between sustainable transport choices, climate change and community wellbeing.
These units of work support students to develop the practical knowledge, skills and confidence needed for safe, active, sustainable and independent travel in their everyday lives.
Through engaging, real-world learning experiences, students develop positive travel behaviours, recognise and respond to risks, and make safe decisions when travelling in their community.
The learning experiences are evidence-informed, curriculum-aligned, differentiated and designed to help students apply road safety concepts in their school, local community and broader transport environments.
The Protective Behaviours and Safety unit can support schools to deliver key elements of the Respectful Relationships program by helping students understand personal safety, help-seeking and protective strategies.
The Bike Ed units of work are complemented by Bike Ed Instructor Training, supporting teachers and instructors to deliver high-quality, practical road safety education that builds students' cycling skills, safety awareness and confidence.
