Year 8 took part in a live theatre-style performance by The Riot Act called ‘Josh Green’. This lively presentation gave students the opportunity to explore pedestrian safety, including on public transport, raising awareness of pedestrian dangers such as distractions (phones, music, and friends) and risk-taking behaviour, and explore consequences of risky and unsafe behaviour on and around roads. The students watched a presentation by a group of actors which was then followed by a workshop where students had the opportunity to engage with the actors and explore the dangers of not paying attention when walking near main roads. It was a key message was to ensure that students are always sensible and focused when crossing the roads, and to avoid using their mobile phones as a distraction which may lead to an accident.
